Audim Qcdletm
Dear Bidder,
We are marking our 69th Official Auction held at the Long Beach Coin Expo, the latest in a tradition starting in 1985. Over
the decades, we have sold hundreds of millions of dollars of rare coins and currency in Southern California, and it is one
of our very favorite venues. With the continuing support of our consignors and bidders, we have held an incredible series
of successful numismatic auctions. We consider the bidders of the Southland so important that we recently opened a new
showroom and auction facility in Beverly Hills, and we welcome your visit.
Our Long Beach Coin Expo auctions have earned their reputation for prices realized leadership, an exciting show, and a
fun location. We invite you to join us at any one - or all three - of the Long Beach shows held every year.
More than 220 consignors have contributed their wonderful coins to this auction, and in the Long Beach floor and non¬
floor sessions together, we will auction over 4,000 lots. Our 500,000+ registered bidder-members at HA.com provide
global demand, and Southern California (plus leading collectors and dealers) provide local' demand at the show. Both
bidders and consignors trust Heritage to deliver a fair marketplace for the exchange of coins and currency lots - and that is
precisely what the tradition of Long Beach is!
We invite you to read about this Long Beach's anchor consignors.
The ALG Collection of Proof Seated, Barber, and Mercury Dimes
These proof dimes, individually offered, are complete from 1855 to 1942, sans 1 857 and 1906. All of the coins are
in first-generation holders, save for the 1856, 1909, and 1910 (which are in the old, possibly second-generation green
holders. Most of these proofs were purchased in the early 1970s to the mid-1980s and have never been removed from the
bank vault since they were certified by PCGS circa 1990.
The Brenda John Collection
The Brenda John Collection features extraordinary Lincoln cents and Buffalo nickels, series that are certainly among the
most popular for American collectors. These Registry level rarities are sure to attract the bidding attention of specialists and
general collectors alike. They will be offered in dedicated sections in this catalog.
The Williams Collection
Ronald Williams collected coins for many years before he suffered the most-feared event of any serious collector - the
theft of his home safe containing all of his coins. For an entire decade, he didn't buy another coin, but in the early 1990s
he discovered Heritage and began buying once again out of auctions. His pursuit of coins focused on Carson City, with
double eagles a favorite. He is now living with a diagnosis of cancer, while his coins continue to provide a source of
enjoyment.
As soon as this catalog is posted at HA.com, we can count the increase in web traffic as numismatists begin their pricing
research online - and the larger the catalog, the more hours they invest. If you haven't used the world's best research
tool - our free Auction Archives - you are ignoring detailed full-color images, lot descriptions, and prices realized for 1.5
million numismatic lots sold in prior auctions. This information will help you maximize your bidding success, as well as
your enjoyment of the process.
We have made it easy to participate and to add exciting items to your collection. Successful bidding is easier when you
use our proprietary Interactive Internet™ bidding system at HA.com; the continual flow of information allows you to focus
on your most promising bids. During the floor sessions, savvy bidders participate through our HERITAGE Live! bidding
system for those last-minute increases. Of course, you can also bid by mail, fax, e-mail, agent, or phone. However you
choose to participate, we wish you good luck with your bidding!
If you can join us, please stop by the Heritage tables on the Long Beach bourse to say hello, or visit us in the lot viewing
room.
Sincerely,
Greg Rohan
President
Todd Imhof

1 1652 Oak Tree Threepence—Damaged—NGC Details. VF.
Noe-24, W-270. 16.2 gn. A moderately worn example of this
unusual die pair, with only the word MASATHVSETS around
the obverse (no IN). Moderately worn with silver-gray and blue
shadings over surfaces damaged by bending and later straightening.
Listed on page 36 of the 2010 Guide Boole. (#18)
AU Sharpness Noe-16 Oak Tree Sixpence
2 1652 Oak Tree Sixpence—Scratches—NGC Details. AU. Crosby
6-F, Noe-16, W-360, R.5. 33.8 gn. A few hair-thin scratches cross
the obverse center, and a couple of similar marks are east of the base
of the denomination. These are presumably test marks made by an
unfamiliar finder of centuries past. Naturally waviness affects the
obverse at 3 o’clock, and the borders display rough mint-made clips.
Partly lustrous and attractively toned in sea-green and steel-gray.
Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book. (#19)

Deeply Toned 1652 Pine Tree Sixpence
AU55, Noe-33
3 1652 Pine Tree Sixpence AU55 PCGS. Crosby 1-A, Noe-33,
R.3. 30.6 gn. These historic coins were among the first struck in
the English Americas. They were authorized by the Massachusetts
General Court in 1652 after wampum was repealed as legal tender
and the Crown ignored the colonists’ needs for circulating coinage.
This is a splendidly detailed sixpence that has glossy olive and
almond-tan surfaces. The obverse is misaligned toward 12 o’clock,
diagnostic for Noe-33. This is a late state for Noe-33 with the
vertical break to the left of the 6 now plain. Somewhat wavy, as
made from a rocker press. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book.
Population: 6 in 55, 5 finer (4/10). (#22)
4 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet—Plugged—NGC
Details. Fine. Crosby 18-L, Noe-20, W-860. 69.0 gn. A holed
and plugged example of a Pine Tree shilling, well-worn but with
remarkably bold central detail. An ideal piece for display or other
non-close-up collecting purposes. Listed on page 37 of the 2010
Guide Book. (#24)
5 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet—Reverse Damage—
NGC Details. Fine. Crosby 16-L, Noe-22, W-870. 70.7 gn.
Significantly worn but with rich gold and blue colors over gray
surfaces. A prominent die break spans the gap between the G and
L in ENGLAND, though that side also shows a depression and digs
that amount to the “reverse damage” designation. Listed on page 37
of the 2010 Guide Boole. (#24)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 7
Very Scarce Noe-15 Pine Tree Shilling
Small Planchet, XF40
Charming Choice AU Pine Tree Shilling
Small Planchet, Noe-17
6 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet XF40 NGC. Crosby
24-N, Noe-15, W-830, R.5. 71.5 gn. This medium brown shilling
was struck several degrees off center toward 7:30. Mint-made clips
cause an oval shape, but the tree, date, and denomination are
bold and complete. Glimpses of luster confirm limited circulation.
Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book. Census: 8 in 40, 17 finer
(4/10). (#24)
Conditionally Rare Pine Tree Shilling
AU53, Small Planchet, Noe-16
(1659) Lord Baltimore Fourpence—Plugged—NGC Details.
VF. Breen-74, Hodder 1-A, W-1010, R.6. The readily collectible
Maryland fourpence or groat, distinguished by the hyphen in the
legend TERRAE-MARIAE. This is a moderately worn example,
holed and plugged with numerous small marks and several
pinscratches on medium-gray to blue-gray surfaces, though this
coin’s history and rarity overwhelm such concerns. (#32)
7 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet AU53 PCGS. Crosby
21-L, Noe-16, W-835, R.2. 69.4 gn. A variety interesting for
its widely recut first A in MASATHVSETS. This example has
noticeable luster and is toned golden-brown, olive-green, and
stone-gray. All peripheral lettering is complete, and the strike is
consistently save save for minor softness near 12 o’clock on each
side. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 53,
12 finer (4/10). (#24)
8 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, Small Planchet AU55 PCGS. Crosby
22-L, Noe-17, W-840, R.3. 69.29 gn. Walnut-brown and
powder-blue toning drapes this partly lustrous Choice AU Pine
Tree shilling. Mark-free except for a couple of hair-thin lines near
the D in ENGLAND. Well struck aside from bluntness near 6
o’clock on each side. The hardy Crosby L reverse die lasted from
Noe-17 through No-22, while the obverse die was only used for
the present marriage. The Massachusetts silver coinage was an
early manifestation of that colony’s desire for independence from
England. Listed on page 37 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5
in 55, 7 finer (4/10). (#24)

10 (1670-75) St. Patrick Farthing—Scratched—NGC Details. VG.
Breen-208. Sharply defined for the VG level, although the deep
brown fields are moderately granular. The reverse has several thin
marks that form a circle about St. Patrick. Listed on page 39 of the
2010 Guide Boole.(#42)
11 (1670-75) St. Patrick Farthing—Corrosion—NGC Details.
Fine. Breen-211. Darkly toned and granular fields contrast with
cream-gray devices. Magnification reveals wispy pinscratches from
verdigris removal. Listed on page 39 of the 2010 Guide Book.
(#42)
12 (1670-75) St. Patrick Farthing—Corrosion—NGC Details.
Fine. Breen-208. The legends and types are clear on this evenly
granular farthing. Well centered and unmarked with deep red and
green patina. Listed on page 39 of the 2010 Guide Boole. (#42)
13 (1670-75) St. Patrick Farthing—Corrosion—NGC Details. VF.
Breen-211. An impressively detailed example of this conditionally
rare early American import. Darkened to deep brown with evenly
granular surfaces. Listed on page 39 of the 2010 Guide Book.
(#42)
MS62 Brown London Elephant Token
Hodder 2-B, Thick Planchet
14 (1694) London Elephant Token, Thick Planchet MS62 Brown
PCGS. Hodder 2-B, W-12040, R.2. The reverse appears to read
LONDON GOD PRESERVE, since the designer chose to begin the
legend at the top rather than the left side, as more normally seen
on coinage. This glossy milk-chocolate example has some minor
planchet roughness, with a bit of original mint red clinging to the
peripheries. Listed on page 2010 Guide Book. Population: 10 in 62
Brown, 20 finer (4/10). (#55)
15 1722 Rosa Americana Halfpenny, D. G. REX AU58 PCGS.
Martin 2-B, W-1218, High R.4. Solid surface quality with only
minor wear showing up as light, flat spots on the portrait. Rich
violet-brown colors have peach and orange overtones. Population:
4 in 58, 6 finer (4/10).(#101)
16 1723 Rosa Americana Twopence—Burnished—NGC Details.
AU. Martin 3-D, W-1334, R.2. Well-defined with little evidence
of wear. Deep brown surfaces are oddly textured with strange
luminosity, suggesting burnishing. Listed on page 41 of the 2010
Guide Boole.(#128)

PCGS. Martin 4.2-C.5, W-12810, R.5. 11 harpstrings. Although
designated as Brown by PCGS, traces of mint Red cling to the
legends of this satiny and unabraded Hibernia halfpenny. The
centers show minor incompleteness of strike, a faint retained
lamination (as made) is noted above the hair ribbon, and a gray
spot is above the first A in GRATIA. Listed on page 42 of the 2010
Guide Book. (#170)
18 1723 Hibernia Farthing, DEI GRATIA MS63 Red and Brown
PCGS. Martin 3-Bc, W-12350, R.3. 11 harpstrings. A remarkable
Red and Brown Select representative of the Hibernia farthing.
Surfaces are Brown through the reverse and most of the obverse,
though considerable orange remains at the peripheries surrounding
the portrait. Listed on page 42 of the 2010 Guide Book. (#177)
Remarkable 1766 Pitt Halfpenny
Betts-519, MS63 Brown
19 1766 Pitt Halfpenny MS63 Brown NGC. Betts-519, Breen-
251, W-8350, R.3. Copper. From a historical standpoint, the Pitt
farthings and halfpennies rank among the most important Colonial
issues of early America. This issue commemorates the efforts of
William Pitt to have the Stamp Act repealed. The current piece is
remarkable on several levels. It is a technical mint error struck on
a cracked planchet that is visible from the obverse border at 10:30
and the reverse border at 7:30, extending in toward the center
of the flan. It is also an amazing Mint State specimen, one of the
finest we have seen. This is only the 10th auction appearance of
a Mint State Pitt halfpenny in any of our sales since 1993. Both
sides have a lovely blend of tan and chocolate color with beautiful,
original surfaces. Light clash marks are visible in the obverse and
reverse fields. Census: 1 in 63 Brown, 2 finer (4/10). Listed on page
48 of the 2010 Guide Book. (#236)

Well-Worn 1776 Continental Dollar, CURENCY
Breen-1089, Newman 1-C
20 1776 Continental Dollar, CURENCY, Pewter—Genuine—NCS.
Breen-1089, Crosby PL VIII, 15, Newman 1-C. The coin shows
VG Details and evidence of environmental damage and has been
bent. The usually seen variety with the CURENCY misspelling.
This piece is ungraded by NCS, merely declared genuine, certainly
an important consideration. The actual grade is assigned by the
Heritage team of professional graders. The surfaces have gray-brown
color with darker steel patina, and there is evidence of corrosion.
Listed on page 81 of the 2010 Guide Book. (#791)
21 1787 Massachusetts Half Cent XF45 PCGS. Ryder 5-A, R.3.
Pleasingly detailed for the grade and issue, with deep teak surfaces
that show subtle violet accents. A meandering planchet flaw
extends from the head of the Indian’s arrow through his nearby
foot and to the rim. Listed on page 57 of the 2010 Guide Book.

Ryder 4-C, MS65 Brown
22 1787 Massachusetts Half Cent MS65 Brown PCGS. Ryder 4-C,
W-5940, R.2. One of the more accessible Massachusetts half cent
varieties and a remarkably well-preserved example of the same.
Considerable peach and violet shadings flicker across medium-
brown surfaces that are smooth and delightful. Excellent design
detail for an Early American issue. Listed on page 57 of the 2010
Guide Book. (#296)
23 1788 Connecticut Copper, Draped Bust Left XF45 PCGS.
M. 15.1-L.l, W-4585, R.4. This medium brown state copper is
nicely struck. The obverse is well centered, while the reverse is
misaligned slightly toward 3:30. A few thin marks are concealed on
the obverse, and granularity from the planchet surface is noted on
the cheek and lower reverse. Listed on page 60 of the 2010 Guide
Book. Population: 5 in 45, 6 finer (4/10).(#409)
Impressive 1787 New Jersey Copper, AU58
Maris 56-n, Struck Over a Connecticut Copper
24 1787 New Jersey Copper, Camel Head—Struck Over
Connecticut Copper—AU58 NGC. Maris 56-n, R.l. This
splendid New Jersey copper has delightful olive and steel toning
on both sides, with considerable undertype from the Connecticut
copper still visible. However, we are unable to positively identify
the Connecticut attribution. Such a search will provide the lucky
buyer with hours of research. Listed on page 67 of the 2010 Guide
Book. (#515)
25 1787 Vermont Copper, Bust Right VF25 NGC. RR-12, Bressett
11-K, W-2110, R.3. A moderately worn example of the late state

27 1787 Auctori Plebis Token AU55 PCGS. Breen-1147, W-8770,
R.3. Listed on page 70 of the 2010 Guide Book. Die polish lines in
the fields confirms minimal wear. A medium brown representative
with pleasing surfaces despite a few marks on the upper left reverse
field. The similarity of the obverse portrait to the Draped Bust
Left Connecticut copper explains this issue’s popularity with Early
American specialists. Population: 4 in 55, 1 finer (4/10). (#601)

Smooth Milk-Chocolate Gem Brown
Kentucky Token, Plain Edge
28 (1792-94) Kentucky Token, Plain Edge MS65 Brown PCGS.
CAC. Breen-1155, W-8800, R. 1 . American collectors view
the Kentucky token as a Colonial issue likely associated with the
state’s admission to the Union in 1792. British collectors, however,
regard it as one of the many popular Conder tokens, substitutes for
a lack of small British copper coins, so named after one of their
first catalogers. The issue in the 19th century was often called the
triangle cent, according to Bowers. This Gem piece offers smooth
milk-chocolate surfaces with no visible defects, unusual in a coin
from this era. Listed on page 71 of the 2010 Guide Book. (#614)
29 1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee/Blofield Cavalry Mule MS63 Brown
NGC. Breen-1051, W-8725, High R.4. This mirrored dark
brown piece has splendid blue and pale gold toning on both sides.
The planchet is cracked from the edge at 1 o’clock (on the Blofield
Cavalry side), nearly reaching the center. The flan crack is also
visible on the other side of this piece. (#969)
30 1794 Talbot/Stork MS63 Brown PCGS. D&H-Hampshire-52a,
Rulau-NY-884, W-8670, R.5. The 1794 Talbot, Allum, and
Lee obverse is mated with a 1793 Stork reverse, one of the more
plentiful varieties among the Talbot mules. This piece is a lovely
prooflike chocolate-brown example with traces of original orange
luster. (#9 73)
Desirable 1793/94 Talbot Mule, MS64 Brown

31 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee/Birmingham Halfpenny Mule MS64
Brown PCGS. D&H-Warwick-54, Rulau-NY-883, W-8665,
High R.4. The existence of the various Talbot mules proves that all
of the Talbot, Allum & Lee pieces were actually coined in England,
although the regular issues were intended for use in America. This
is a truly special muling with full prooflike surfaces and considerable
original orange mint luster on both sides. (#982)
Choice AU Silver 1796 Castorland Medal
32 1796 Castorland Medal, Silver AU55 PCGS. Breen-1062,
W-9135, R.6. First Paris Mint restrike from the original dies. The
reverse die is sunken near the N in PARENS, and the vessel handle
is accompanied by a network of die rust or crumbling. Briefly
circulated and moderately abraded surfaces display deep dove-
gray toning with apple-green and autumn-gold undertones. Listed
on page 73 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 5 in 55, 14 finer
(4/10). (#653)

Silver, Breen-1058, W-9100
33 1796 Castorland Medal, Silver AU58 PCGS. Breen-1058,
W-9100, R.5. Castorland was a planned community in upstate
New York, intended to provide a home for French emigrants fleeing
the French Revolution. There is little die rust and no bulge on
this original strike. This bold example has reflective silver surfaces
beneath deep steel-blue and iridescent toning on both sides.
Population: 5 in 58, 9 finer (4/10). (#653)
34 1783 Washington & Independence Cent, Large Military Bust
MS63 Brown NGC. Baker-4, R.l. The single finest NGC-

Baker-6, R.l. The undated Washington Double Head cent is
part of a series that is usually associated with the year 1783. The
obverse (WASHINGTON) is fully lustrous with sepia patina and
the reverse (ONE CENT) is deeper agate toning. The high points
on each side show slight weakness. Listed on page 76 of the 2010

Historic 1781 Libertas Americana Medal
Bronzed Copper, Betts-615, MS63 Brown
42 1781 Libertas Americana Medal in Bronzed Copper, Betts-615,
MS63 Brown PCGS. 47.5 mm, 42.5 gm. The Libertas Americana
medal, minted in the early 1780s, is one of the most famous and
historic medals ever produced by or for the U.S. These pieces
were struck at the Paris Mint on order of Benjamin Franklin, and
executed by Augustin Dupre. Three different dates appear on
the Libertas Americana medal, July 4, 1776, October 17, 1777,
and October 19, 1781. They are usually identified today by the
latest date on the piece, or 1781. The obverse of this piece has
the always seen die break below the 4. All genuine examples in
bronze and silver have that same die break. Both sides of this piece
have reflective chestnut-brown surfaces with faint blue and pale
orange overtones. Here is an attractive and important medal for
the historically minded collector. Accompanied by a PCGS photo
certificate. (#952)

State 1.0. The medium brown and steel-blue surfaces shimmer
with luster, and the strike is sharp throughout. Essentially devoid
of abrasions, and spots are limited to the denominator and the field
near the F in OF. MRB XF40. Population: 5 in 58, 4 finer (4/10).
(#1090)
46 1807 AU55 NGC. C-l, B-l, R.l. The sole die pair for the year.
This modestly worn example has luminous, dusky cinnamon-brown

47 1833 MS65 Brown NGC. C-l, B-l, R.l. Manley Die State 1.0.
Attribution is easy since only die variety is known, despite a Guide
Book mintage of 103,000 pieces. This is a prooflike Gem that is
fully struck save for a hint of incompleteness on the N in CENT.
Essentially free from marks, although a mint-made lamination is
present near star 1 and minor spots are noted near the second 3 in
the date and the second S in STATES. MRB MS60.(#1162)
Full Red 1857 Half Cent, MS64
C-l, B-l
48 1857 MS64 Red PCGS. C-l, B-l, R.2. The final half cent
issue has a meager mintage of 35,180 pieces, and full Red pieces
are both scarce and underappreciated. This is a smooth peach-
gold near-Gem with a couple of minor reverse spots. The striking
details are good overall in spite of minor blending across portions
of the denticles. Housed in a first generation holder. MRB MS64.

From an unknown, but undoubtedly small proof mintage, the 1850
proof half cent is extremely rare in PR63 Brown today. Currently,
PCGS has certified only three examples in PR63 Brown, with
three finer; while NGC has graded a single specimen in this grade,
with none finer in the Brown designation(4/10). The present coin
displays exquisite striking details, with hints of original red color
mixed with attractive chocolate brown. MRB PR60. (#1311)

Desirable Double Struck Cent
1795 S-76b, VF Details
50 1795 Plain Edge—Double Struck, Scratches—NGC Details.
VF. S-76b, B-4b, R.l. This piece has bold doubling visible at the
center of the obverse and reverse. The obverse of this olive-brown
example has a few scrapes, and the reverse has noticeable scratches,
especially when magnified. MRB Good 6. (#1380)
51 1797 Reverse of 1797, Stems—Environmental Damage—NGC
Details. VF. S-129, B-24, R.5. A moderately worn example of
this rare die pair. Violet and golden-brown surfaces show a number
of voids and light surface etching, indicators of environmental
damage, possibly from burial in soil. MRB VG8.(#1422)
52 1797 Reverse of 1797, No Stems AU50 PCGS. S-131, B-27,
R.2. An early die state for S-131, although the obverse is quite
advanced. The No Stems 1797 cent, identified as S-131, is plentiful
with an R.2 rating, suggesting a surviving population in the ball
park of 1,000 coins.
Despite its availability, examples are uncommon in higher
grades. Del Bland lists one XF45, two XF40s, and 14 pieces that
he grades VF35 or VF30. Similarly, Bill Noyes records an XF45,
two XF40s, and three VF35s as the six finest pieces known to him.
Following those are 11 other coins in the lower VF grades. In his
photo book, United States Large Cents 1795-1797, Noyes illustrates
the top 18 pieces known to him.
The present specimen is easily fine enough to be included
among those 18 coins, and likely fairly high on that roster. This
piece has the sharpness of an AU50 example with bistre-brown
patina on the obverse, and deeper sepia patina on the reverse. Both
sides have trivial surface marks while the obverse has additional
splashes of spots of minor corrosion. This piece is, in our opinion,
one of the 10 finest examples of the variety. MRB VF30. (#1425)
53 1800 VF25 PCGS. S-208, B-21, R.3. A prominent obverse cud
near 2 o’clock aids attribution of the variety. A richly detailed
example of this conditionally scarce date. Dark mahogany-
brown with unabraded and mildly granular surfaces. MRB Fine

54 1802 No Stems XF45 NGC. S-241, B-20, R.l. A No Stems
reverse without doubling on the final S in STATES. The two No
Stems varieties are popular with Guide Book collectors, and this
luminous chocolate-brown piece has many pleasing attributes. A
heavy die crack is noted at the upper right obverse. MRB VF25.
(#1476)
58 1850 MS66 Brown NGC. N-7, R.2. Grellman Die State b.
The faint die lump at the central top of Liberty’s neck is the key
diagnostic for this specialist-familiar Newcomb variety. This
lustrous and remarkably unabraded Premium Gem possesses rich
butter-gold, brick-red, and jade-green toning. Certified in a former
generation holder. MRB MS60.(#1889)

Rare Double Struck Specimen, AU Details
r 1 1
55 1803 Small Date, Large Fraction—Improperly Cleaned—NGC
Details. AU. S-261, B-20, R.2. Portions of the obverse show
subtle signs of a second strike. The 1803 S-261 cent is an available
variety, but rarely seen double struck. The present coin is Die State
II, with the die crack from the rim, between 8 and 0, through the
hair to the ribbon. Much original detail remains on the devices, and
the surfaces are free of significant blemishes. MRB VF25. (#1485)
Popular 1818N-10 Cent, MS66 Red and Brown
56 1818 MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-10, R.l. This lovely
Randall Hoard cent has nearly 50% original red mint color with
medium blue-brown patina on both sides. The strike is sharp and
the diagnostic obverse die crack encircling the die is bold. Here is
a popular piece for date and type collectors. MRB MS63. (#1601)
57 1848 MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-41, R.l. Attributed by fine
lines from dentils that reach the base of the second 8 in the date,
and a sharp point down from the near right end of the base of T
in CENT. Lovely orange lustrous surfaces display a few blushes of
tan-blue. The design elements are sharply impressed, save for the
usual softness in some of the star centers. Both sides are impeccably
preserved and clean. MRB MS64. Census: 6 in 66 Red and Brown,
1 finer (4/10). (#1884)
59 1851 MS66 Brown PCGS. N-14, R.2. Grellman Die State
c. Glimpses of orange-red outline the stars, letters, and wreath,
although designated as Brown by PCGS. Chocolate-brown toning
fills the fields and portrait. Satiny and well struck with contact
limited to trivial ticks near star 2. MRB MS60.(#1892)
60 1855 Upright 5s MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-4, R.l. An
early striking without the peripheral die cracks on the reverse.
Tiny die lumps on the portrait confirm the die marriage. The
radiant orange color is especially pervasive on the reverse, although
Liberty’s portrait has acquired light lilac patina. MRB MS63.
Ex: John Jay Pittman Collection, Part One (10/1997 ), lot 270. Pittman
had purchased the cent for $3.85 on an unknown date. (#1908)
61 1855 Upright 5s MS66 Red and Brown NGC. N-4, R.l.

FLYING EAGLE CENTS
62 1857 MS64 NGC. An attractively lustrous near-Gem example of
this first-year circulating Flying Eagle cent. Medium peach color on
the obverse is more dusky on the reverse. A spot is noted between
the IC of AMERICA.(#2016)
63 1858 Large Letters MS64 NGC. Bright copper and peach surfaces
show freckles of deeper apricot-rose color. A well struck Large
Letters example of this final Flying Eagle cent issue with few
significant abrasions.(#2019)
64 1858/7 AU50 AN ACS. FS-301, Snow-1. The corner of the
underdigit 7 is readily apparent northeast of the final 8 in the date,
and the die dot below the eagle is even more visible. A surprisingly
unmarked example that has rich brown patina and only minor
wear. (#2022)
1858/7 Flying Eagle Cent, MS63
Popular Early Die State
65 1858/7 MS63 PCGS. FS-301, Snow-1. Large Letters, High
Leaves, Closed E. Broken wing tip hub. A popular early die state
that shows all the diagnostics of this rare overdate. These include
the “chip” in the field above the first 8 that is actually the bottom
of an errant 1, the top of the 7 above and to the right of the second
8, and the broken wing tip. These are scarce in all grades and
especially so in mint condition. Only 23 pieces have been certified
by PCGS with 29 finer (4/10). The fields show a slight wrinkled
effect, undoubtedly from metal flow. Striking details are strong
throughout, although not quite complete. Each side displays golden-
tan patina with satiny underlying mint luster. (#2022)

Desirable 1858/7 Flying Eagle Cent, MS63
66 1858/7 MS63 NGC. FS-301, Snow-1. The tiny die chip above
the first 8 is clearly visible, as is the broken wing tip. The right top
of the 7 is faintly visible above the final 8, and the entire date is
doubled. A few minor marks and faint scratches on the golden-tan
surfaces explain the grade. (#2022)
PROOF FLYING EAGLE CENTS
Proof 1856 Flying Eagle Cent
67 1856—Cleaned—ANACS. Net PR60. Snow-9. A fully struck
and satiny example of this famous and historic small cent pattern.
The apricot-gold and olive obverse is slightly bright, but the reverse
is pleasing and displays attractive pastel sea-green, pumpkin-gold,
and rose-red toning. (#2037)
68 1856 PR63 NGC. Snow-9. The usual die pair for this perennial
marketplace favorite. The Snow-9 cents are generally well made
proofs, such as the present piece. The strike is razor-sharp, down
to the veins of the cotton leaves. The surfaces are unabraded and
toned dusky green-gray aside from glimpses of the initial apricot-
gold color near peripheral design elements. The fields display an
occasional whisper of granularity, enough to limit the grade but not
the eye appeal. Just prior to the Civil War, this issue was the hottest
ticket in the budding coin collecting hobby, and every collector
worth his salt had to have at least one. (#2037)

Toned Choice Proof 1856 Flying Eagle Cent
1856 PR64 NGC. Snow-9. Golden-brown encompasses design
elements, while the open fields display ice-blue. Glimpses of rose-
red visit the margins. The attractive toning and reflective luster
combine with an exacting strike to ensure the eye appeal. No
carbon is readily evident, and there are no abrasions. The 1856
Flying Eagle cent played a vital role in the growth of American
numismatics just prior to the Civil War. Every collector had to have
at least one, an achievable goal unlike the 1804 dollar. Demand
for the small diameter 1856 cent was so strong that the Mint
unofficially produced at least 1,000 pieces a few years later, most of
which, like the present coin, came from Snow-9 proof dies. (#2037)

vibrant orange at the right reverse.(#2052)
Gem Proof 1858 Large Letters
Flying Eagle Cent
70 1858 Large Letters PR65 PCGS. Snow-PRl. High Leaves
Reverse. Closed E in ONE. Probably only about 50 to 100 proofs
of this issue were distributed, giving it equal status with the proof
1857 Flying Eagle cents. These are very rare in proof format. Prior
to 1992, PCGS certified all proof 1858 Flyers under a single coin
identification number. Once they separated those listings and
began recognizing the Small and Large Letters varieties, they began
keeping track of Small Letters coins listed under the new number.
All previously certified coins were accounted by the Large Letters
number, giving this variety the appearance that it is more common.
It is likely that the Mint distributed the Large Letters proofs in
1858. The Small Letters coins are likely restrikes produced and
sold later. This Gem is extremely sharply struck and displays deep
orange-gold color accented by iridescent toning. Certified in an old
green label holder.

Bright MS65 1859 Indian Cent
72 1859 MS65 NGC. This piece retains much of the light honeys
tan color of original copper-nickel cents. There is, however, also
a slight and even overlay of reddish patina on each side. The mint
luster glows softly over the surfaces. Slight metal flow is also noted
toward the margins of both obverse and reverse. Sharply, but not
fully struck. (#2052)
Amazing MS66 1861 Copper-Nickel Cent
73 1861 MS66 PCGS. Ex: Richard Collection. The surfaces display
pleasing golden-tan coloration and bright satiny luster, with typical
definition and essentially mark-free surfaces. Liberty’s headdress
feathertips are softly struck, as are some of the obverse peripheral
letters, and the 8 in the date. Russet-orange toning streaks overlay
part of the obverse, along with a small number of flyspecks. The
reverse seems unmarked and carbon-free. Population: 55 in 66, 11
finer (4/10).
Ex: Richard Collection (Heritage, 1/2004), lot 4226. (#2061)
74 1866 MS66 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. A lustrous high grade
Indian cent. The obverse is essentially full Red, although the
central reverse has deepened to gray. The strike is exemplary,
carbon is minimal, and no marks are readily apparent.(#2086)
75 1867 MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. Decidedly more Red than
Brown with only a few dots of the latter color against bright copper-
orange surfaces. Well struck and appealing for this elusive post-
Civil War issue. (#2089)
76 1869/69 MS65 Brown NGC. CAC. FS-301, Snow-3a. A
chocolate-brown Gem of this popular repunched date variety,
which Breen (1988) claims as his own discovery. Boldly struck and
smooth with minor clash marks in selected areas.
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2006), lot 119, which realized
$1,092.50. (#2094)
77 1873 Closed 3 MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. This honey-gold
near-Gem approaches full Red status, but subtle mellowing toward
brown is noted near the right wreath end. Lustrous and mark-free
with a good strike save for unimportant incompleteness along the
reverse margin.(#2110)
78 1877 VG8 AN ACS. Shallow N. All letters in LIBERTY are at
least partly present, although only the L, T, and Y are clear. The
medium brown surfaces are unperturbed aside from a small recessed
area between UNITED and STATES. The key date of the series.
(#2127)
79 1877 VG10 NGC. All letters in LIBERTY are at least partly
evident on this circulated sea-green and rose-red key date cent.
One minor mark in the headdress is of little import. Among regular
issues, only the 1909-S has a lower mintage.(#2127)
80 1877—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. A well struck
example of the famous Indian cent key with light wear across the
high points. Blue-brown and reddish-orange surfaces are slick and
glossy from a past cleaning.(#2127)
81 1883 MS67 Red and Brown NGC. The lemon-gold central
obverse is bounded by orange-red and lime-green. The pumpkin-
gold reverse has splashes of deep ruby-red. Although struck from
late-in-life dies, this lustrous Gem possesses surfaces are seemingly
free from even the most trivial imperfection.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2005), lot 873. (#2146)
Remarkable MS65 Red 1885 Cent
82 1885 MS65 Red PCGS. A remarkable Gem survivor of this
Philadelphia cent issue, ideal for the date collector pursuing
the daunting task of assembling the series in Red Mint State.
Strong copper-orange and salmon colors enliven lustrous surfaces
that are unturned and beautiful. Well-defined with only minor
incompleteness on the diamonds on Liberty’s hair ribbon.
Population: 54 in 65 Red, 10 finer (4/10). (#2153)
Lustrous 1885 Cent, MS65 Red
83 1885 MS65 Red PCGS. Cherry-red dominates this intricately
struck and lustrous Gem. Virtually devoid of contact, and carbon-
free aside from two flecks between the TE in UNITED and above
the final A in AMERICA. A lower mintage date. Population: 54 in
65 Red, 10 finer (4/10). (#2153)
84 1909-S MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Among regular
issues, the 1909-S is the lowest mintage small cent. Examples were
saved since its scarcity was known early, but nice Uncirculated
pieces are desirable. This is a lustrous walnut-gold near-Gem that
has a good strike and a mark-free appearance.(#2239)

PROOF INDIAN CENTS
Gem Red 1909-S Indian Cent
85 1909-S MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. This Gem Red 1909-S Indian
is certified in an old-style PCGS green-label “doily” holder. The
obverse is orange-gold, while the reverse is a bit lighter in shade,
and generous luster radiates from both sides. All four diamonds
show on the ribbon, although a couple of the feather tips on the
headdress are incomplete. Only a couple of trivial flecks appear,
solely on the reverse, under a loupe. Gem Red 1909-S Indians are
many times rarer than their 1909-S VDB counterparts in the same
grade. PCGS has certified only 14 examples finer (5/10). (#2240)
Low-Mintage, High-Grade 1909-S Indian Cent
MS 66 Red
86 1909-S MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Richard. The 1909-S Indian cent
has a paltry mintage of only 309,000 pieces, which rivals the 1877
in desirability and overall rarity. It is also a condition rarity, with
only 12 other MS66 Red coins certified as such by PCGS, and just
one finer piece (5/10). This is a lovely, bright orange-red example
that has even color over each side, no obvious carbon spots, and no
abrasions. Slight weakness is evident at the feather tips and on the
lower part of the wreath, but the quality is otherwise stunning.
Ex: Richard Collection (Heritage, 1/2004), lot 4363. (#2240)
87 1866 PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. This fully struck
specimen has radiant mirrors and variegated plum-red, pumpkin-
gold, and jade-green color. Only 725 proofs were struck, and
Premium Gem survivors are very rare.(#2286)
88 1870 PR65 Red and Brown NGC. Shallow N. This radiant
Gem is fully struck except for the dentils beneath the date.
Predominantly pumpkin-gold aside from a blush of brown toning
between LIBERTY and the N in UNITED. Encapsulated in a prior
generation holder. (#2298)
Eye-Appealing 1877 Cent
PR65 Red and Brown
89 1877 PR65 Red and Brown NGC. Eagle Eye Photo Seal. Beautiful
orange-gold coloration is splashed with crimson and forest-green,
more so on the reverse. Razor-sharp design elements are accented
against the deeply reflective fields, and there are no significant
abrasions or spots to report. Census: 68 in 65 Red and Brown, 15
finer (4/10). (#2319)
90 1881 PR66 Red PCGS. This deeply mirrored pumpkin-gold
Premium Gem has an occasional hint of cherry-red and aqua near
the margins. A loupe reveals minuscule carbon. Portions of the
portrait lack detail due to a lapped obverse die. Encapsulated in
a green label holder. Population: 23 in 66 Red, 4 finer (4/10).
(#2332)
91 1886 Type One PR65 Red NGC. This precisely struck Gem proof
is flashy but also displays cartwheel sheen. Mostly orange-gold with
ruby-red along the right obverse border and a few gray freckles on
the reverse exergue. In a former generation holder. Census: 4 in 65
Red, 3 finer (4/10).(#2347)
92 1901 PR66 Red PCGS. CAC. Rich copper-orange color defines
the sharply struck obverse, while the reverse is imbued with deeper
cherry hues. Fantastic eye appeal for this turn-of-the-century proof
issue. (#2392)

LINCOLN CENTS FROM THE
BRENDA JOHN COLLECTION
93 1909 VDB MS67 Red PCGS. CAC. The 1909 VDB cent has
a huge following at the Superb Gem Red level, as even though
the two major services have certified a few hundred pieces in
that grade, it is the finest practically obtainable. This thoroughly
lustrous Superb Gem is precisely struck and practically pristine,
with flaming orange-red surfaces, a bold strike, and enormous eye
appeal. An outstanding representative of this single-year design
subtype. PCGS has graded only a single example finer (4/10).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2004), lot 5566; FUN

Lustrous 1909 VDB Cent, Doubled Die Obverse
MS66 Red, FS^1102
94 1909 VDB Doubled Die Obverse, DDO-002 MS66 Red PCGS.
CAC. FS-1102. Cherrypickers’ states that “the doubling on this
variety is evident as extra thickness on all obverse letters and
numbers.” This variety should not be confused with the better
known FS-1101, a different 1909 V.D.B. doubled die. “Notching”
is visible on the curve of the last 9, and there are die chips in the
top of the B in LIBERTY. This lustrous Premium Gem is well
struck aside from the initials. The almond-tan and mint-green
surfaces display minimal imperfections. Population for the variety:
9 in 66 Red, 1 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#37636)
Amazing 1909-S VDB Cent, MS66 Red
95 1909-S VDB MS66 Red PCGS. Typically bold and frosty with
uniform golden-tan surfaces that look much as they did nearly
100 years ago when a U.S. President first appeared on a regular
issue coin. The most famous of all Lincoln cent issues and among
the best known in all of numismatics, with its mintage of 484,000
pieces fixed in the memory of all dedicated collectors of the series.
While comparatively abundant in lesser Uncirculated grades, pieces
at this lofty level are legitimately scarce and are almost never seen
finer. PCGS has only certified nine finer examples of this famous
issue (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#2428)
Pristine 1909 Cent, MS67 Red
Second Design Type
96 1909 MS67 Red PCGS. The second design type for Lincoln cents
was this issue, with Victor D. Brenner’s initials removed from the
reverse. This example is tied for the finest certified with numerous
others by PCGS and exhibits frosty deep orange luster. The surfaces
are virtually perfect. Population: 58 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/04), lot 5393, which realized
$2,875; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/07), lot 2325, which

Splendid MS66 Red 1909-S Cent
97 1909-S MS66 Red PCGS. The 1909-S Lincoln cent without VDB
is popular at the Gem level and still obtainable for a price at the
Premium Gem level, although that is as good as it gets for most
collectors, unless they want to vie for the tiny handful of MS67 Red
specimens certified. This MS66 Red piece proffers bold eye appeal,
with mellow sunset-orange surfaces accented by hints of olive on
the obverse and cherry-red at the lower reverse. There is no hint
of carbon or contact, and the strike is essentially full. PCGS has
certified four Red coins finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#2434)
98 1909-S S Over Horizontal S MS65 Red NGC. FS-1502. The
first S is punched horizontally and somewhat north of the second,
correctly positioned mintmark. In the later die states, as here, it
is evident that there is a repunched mintmark, as Cherrypickers’
says, but the horizontal orientation is difficult to discern. This
Gem Red coin has almond-tan surfaces with some minor flecks
appearing under a glass that fail to dampen the appeal. Census: 52
in 65 Red, 25 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection.(# 92434)
Conditionally Elusive 1910 Cent, MS67 Red
99 1910 MS67 Red PCGS. This is a much less-common issue than
generally realized at the Superb Gem Red level, where PCGS has
certified only 19 pieces and none finer (4/10). This piece offers highly
lustrous, somewhat mattelike almond-tan surfaces with generous
eye appeal. Only a few minuscule flecks appear on the reverse.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#2437)
Remarkable Superb Gem Red 1910'S Lincoln
100 1910-S MS67 Red NGC. The 1910-S is, for a mintmarked early
Lincoln issue, relatively available in Mint State. David Lange, in
his Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents , writes that “original rolls were
known as late as the 1970s, and small hoards of red or red-brown
coins were being marketed even in the 1980s. True gems are easy
to find, and they appear with more frequency than for other S-mint
Lincoln cents before 1929.”
Lange’s assertions notwithstanding, specimens in the lofty
grade of MS67 Red, such as the present coin, are anything but
common. Indeed, NGC and PCGS together have graded a mere
four examples in MS67 Red, and none finer (4/10). Copper-orange
and yellow-gold luster adorn the impeccably preserved surfaces, and
the strike is remarkably powerful overall, showing only weakness on
a couple of the letters on the lower reverse legend.

101 1911 MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh. Both sides
are ablaze in uniform golden-orange color, with peerless matte-
textured surfaces and the expectedly sharp design elements.
While minted in substantial numbers (over 101 million pieces)
and located without any real difficultly up to and including Gem
condition, Superb Gem full Red representatives such as this are
nearly impossible to locate. An important opportunity for the Set

Sharp, Original 1911-D Cent, MS66 Red
102 1911-D MS66 Red NGC. This Premium Gem Red 1911-D
Lincoln, certified in an old-style NGC holder, should elicit some
spirited bidding on the auction “floor”—both the physical and virtual
kinds. NGC and PCGS combined have graded only 19 coins at this
level, with a mere two finer. This piece displays old-time originality,
with surfaces that are uniformly free of either carbon or distractions.
The strike is exceptionally sharp for this often-weak issue, and the
color is a consistent violet-red, well within the confines of the Red
designation. Census: 1 in 66 Red, 1 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#2446)
Remarkable 1911-S Cent, MS66 Red
One of 11 So Graded at PCGS
103 1911-S MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. Countless collectors
pursue the Lincoln cent as their first series because of its high
visibility, availability, and relative affordability. Even after getting
their feet wet in numismatics, many collectors remain fervent
Lincoln-seekers. Due to the huge collector base for the Lincoln
cent, demand is always high, and bidding is fierce for a Premium
Gem Red coin such as the piece offered here.
This is unsurprising, as many of the early Lincoln cents are
challenging in Gem or better, especially with the Red designation.
In 1911, the same year that Denver first dabbled in cent coinage,
the San Lrancisco Mint struck more than 4 million Lincoln cents
for circulation. Apparently, most of those coins spent a good deal
of time in commerce, though the present piece offers a singularly
delightful exception to the rule. This especially well-preserved
example has warm red color over each side and sharply struck
devices. The 1911-S is an elusive issue even in finer circulated
grades, but it is a premier condition rarity at the Gem Red level of
preservation, and even more so at the level of Premium Gem Red.
PCGS has graded a total of 11 MS66 Red 1911-S cents and none
in either MS66 Brown or MS66 Red and Brown (4/10). This piece
offers consistent sunset-orange coloration with a few minuscule
violet flecks on the obverse and some deeper cherry-red on the right
reverse. The strike is impeccable. Due to the rarity of the 1911-S in
MS66, one can expect several high-grade Lincoln specialists to
compete for this meticulously preserved, outstanding coin.
Ex: CSNS Signature (Heritage, 5/07), lot 2031, which realized
$27,600; Jack Fee Estate Lincoln Cent Registry Set (Heritage, 11/08),

Near-Perfect 1912 Cent, MS67 Red
Ex: Walsh Collection
104 1912 MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh. Further
proof that there is absolutely no correlation between mintage
and availability in high grades. This Superb Gem representative
exhibits fine-grained, mattelike surfaces that, if it were not for a
few inconsequential flecks of carbon, would come temptingly close
to perfection. Radiant luster is present throughout both sides, with
mellow, consistent deep apricot-orange coloration. The search for
the ultimate 1912 Lincoln ends here. Population: 7 in 67 Red, 0

Ex: Mershon, Walsh
105 1912-D MS66 Red PCGS, Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh. An
extraordinarily smooth cherry-red representative that offers
excellent sharpness throughout. The fields have a pleasing fine¬
grained texture that is reminiscent of the matte proof coinage from
this era. Even close inspection with a magnifier fails to reveal any
carbon spotting or mentionable marks or abrasions, although a faint
violet-colored toning streak appears in the right obverse field. Only
a handful of 1912-D Lincoln cents have been certified at this lofty
grade level. Population: 13 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Elusive Gem Red 1912-S Lincoln Cent
With Sharply Struck Obverse
Bold 1913 Cent, MS67 Red, Ex: Jack Lee
Only Four Certified at PCGS
106 1912-S MS65 Red NGC. The 1912-S Lincoln in Gem Red grades,
along with the 1911 -S, begins a string of S-mint rarities in the series
at the MS65 Red level that lasts until nearly the end of the 1920s.
The smooth peach surfaces on this example are somewhat mattelike
on the obverse and only slightly mellowed. The obverse strike is
extremely sharp, although the reverse is less so, showing weakness
on the lower right wheat ear. Carbon is limited to just a couple of
minute reverse flecks. Census: 22 in 65 Red, 1 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#2458)
4 Victor 0* Brenner
107 1913 MS67 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. Although the mintage
exceeded 76 million coins, PCGS has only graded four submissions
as MS67 Red, with none finer (4/10). Just one survivor exists for
every 19 million examples of the original mintage. When pieces
such as this Superb Gem appear in the marketplace, advanced
specialists know that the opportunity should not be bypassed.
The strike is bold, apparently as usual, although there is some
conflicting information in David W. Lange’s reference. He states
under rarity that “all grades of Mint State are available. Fully red gems
are in more limited supply and when found, these are seldom fully
struck.” Then in the Comments section he further writes: “Like most
Philadelphia^Mint cents, 1913-P is almost always well struck.”
The present coin is an absolutely amazing Superb Gem with
brilliant goldemorange surfaces that exhibit extremely intense
mint frost and exceptional luster. The lower inside edge of the left
wheat ear has a small dark toning spot. A few minuscule abrasions
are visible but hardly important.
This incredible Superb Gem will easily please the advanced
Lincoln cent specialist, and will nicely upgrade nearly every
Registry Set currently recorded at the PCGS website. The present
appearance is only the fourth time that we have offered an MS67,
and the three previous appearances represent just one or two other
pieces. Population: 4 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

Blemish-Free 1914-D Cent, MS66 Red
111 1914-D MS66 Red NGC. This Premium Gem has a sharp strike
with the exception of slight weakness that is limited to Lincolns
cheek and beard. The surfaces are frosty and highly lustrous with a
few tiny freckles but no other blemishes. Among fully brilliant red
examples of this date, NGC and PCGS have combined to grade
just seven pieces with none finer (4/10).
Although quite a few early branch mint Lincoln cents are
condition rarities in similar grades, the 1914-D is a date that
collectors immediately recognize as a key to the series in all grades,
along with the 1909-S VDB cent, the 1922 Plain, and the 1955
Doubled Die variety. This issue has been recognized as a rare date
for a great many years. For example, the 1936 edition of Wayte
Raymond’s Standard Catalogue of United States Coins and Currency
recorded a value of $2.50 for this date, the highest price of any
Lincoln cent issue. By comparison, the same catalog listed a value
of just 50 cents for the 1909-S VDB cent.
Most surviving Mint State examples of this date are probably
from a hoard of 700 pieces mentioned by Walter Breen and still
in existence through the early 1950s. Others are from two rolls of
spotted red and brown pieces that was discovered in Hawaii or the
Philippines during the 1970s, according to a firsthand account by
Dave Bowers. Census: 4 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Sharply Defined 1913-D Cent, MS66 Red
108 1913-D MS66 Red NGC. The 1913-D cent is a fairly welL
produced issue—much more so than the 191DD, for example,
although there are exceptions. This piece is sharply defined and
well preserved throughout, a criterion that seems common to many
of the coins in this marvelous collection. The bright brick-red
surfaces show a bit of hazel patina on the lower obverse. Both sides
display noticeable mattelike granularity with an overlay of bright,
satiny luster. Census: 3 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Brilliant 1913-S Cent, MS65 Red
None Graded Finer at NGC
109 1913-S MS65 Red NGC. The 1913-S Lincoln cent is another
S-mint issue that is extremely elusive at the Gem Red level. This
coin offers brilliant almond-tan to gold surfaces with a sharply
struck obverse. The reverse die shows some old clash marks from
the rear profile of Lincoln on the obverse, and a small die crack
runs from the rim through the right wheat ear. PCGS has certified
two Red coins finer. Census: 16 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

110 1914 MS66 Red PCGS. Another early Lincoln P-mint issue that

This survivor is among the finest from the mintage exceeding
75 million pieces at the start of World War I. The surfaces are a
uniform, blazing brick-orange color, with scattered glints of hazel
and nary a carbon fleck in sight.

Scarce 1914-S Cent, MS65 Red
112 1914-S MS65 Red NGC. The 1914-S is among the scarcest of the
semikey dates in the Lincoln cent series. High-grade pieces are in
relatively short supply due to problems in producing the coins. More
specifically, David Lange (2005) writes: “Problems with the planchet
stock have caused many specimens across the entire grade spectrum
to display signs of corrosion and other discoloration.” The elusiveness
of full Red Gem specimens is evident from the certified population
data that show just 37 MS65 coins, and a mere three finer (4/10).
This exceptional Red Gem displays bright blond-gold to peach-
gold surfaces with sharply struck design elements. The preservation
is impressive throughout, with no mentionable spots, discoloration,
or stains. Census: 5 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

over each side. Close examination reveals a tiny toning spot
adjacent to the middle crossbar of the E in ONE. One of the finest

Remarkable 1915-S Cent, MS66 Red
Sole Finest Certified at NGC
115 1915-S MS66 Red NGC. The 1915-S Lincoln is acknowledged
to be one of the most elusive of the early S-mint cents today, a
position it has attained gradually over the last three decades or so
as hordes of new collectors have discovered how truly difficult it is
to obtain in top grades. This Premium Gem Red piece is the sole
finest Red example so graded at NGC, and with PCGS’s five coins,
a total of a half-dozen 1910-S cents make the cut at MS66 Red.
The lustrous surfaces on this splendid coin offer a mottled mix
of gold, red, and light violet, all well within the Red confines, and
carbon is absent. The strike is as full as ever seen, with complete
separation on both coat lines across the neck and no weakness on
any of the reverse legends. A remarkable treat for Lincoln cent
Registry collectors. Census: 1 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Fiery Gem Superb Gem 1916 Cent
116 1916 MS67 Red PCGS. This Superb Gem 1916 Lincoln is a
visually impressive P-mint notable for its fiery orange-gold color
and radiant luster. The surfaces have a fine-grained mattelike
appearance, as though they were struck from proof dies—a
possibility that the extremely sharp strike does not entirely
preclude. This piece is one of only 35 examples in MS67 Red
certified at PCGS, and there are none finer (4/10).

Celebrated 1916-D Cent, MS66 Red, Ex: Lee
One of Four Finest at PCGS
117 1916-D MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. To many collectors,
the 1916-D is a date that sparks only mild interest; in circulated
grades it is relatively available, thanks to a mintage of just under 36
million pieces. To the Mint State Lincoln cent enthusiast, however,
the 1916-D issue has a completely different connotation. As David
Lange writes in The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents , “The rarity of
this date in MS65 RD will come as a surprise to many who are new
to collecting Lincolns in high grades but not to veteran specialists
in the series.”
The 1916-D, a widely celebrated and closely studied issue,
shows a number of characteristics in common among the best
examples. Perhaps the most notable is a certain trade-off that
affects the highest-graded examples. Lange notes that better-
graded Mint State cents with fully Red surfaces often show striking
weakness, and that toning is more commonly associated with
sharply detailed survivors. In addition, a Red example’s color often
shows strong elements of pink.
This Premium Gem shows certain pink accents and hues, though
the more dominant color is rich copper-orange. Though a touch of
the usual striking softness appears at the upper wheat ears, the portrait
is crisp, and the surfaces are carefully preserved. Overall, this coin
represents an attractive opportunity in more ways than one for the
discerning Lincoln Registry Set collector. It is one of just four MS66
Red pieces in the PCGS Population Report, with none finer (4/10).

Elusive Gem Red 1916-S Cent
118 1916-S MS65 Red PCGS. The 1916-S Lincoln continues a
string of difficult S^mint issues in Gem Red condition that begins
with the 1911 -S and continues through at least the 1927-S. This
sharply struck early Lincoln cent displays bold definition on
Lincoln’s beard, hair, and the motto, areas that are frequently
softly impressed. The surfaces are free of distracting spots or surface
abrasions, and a strong loupe is needed to find the minute signs of
contact. A short planchet flaw appears below Lincoln’s temple, and
a speck at the top of EN of CENT. To date PCGS has certified a
mere 22 pieces in MS65 Red, with none finer (4/10).

Noteworthy 1917 Lincoln Cent, MS67 Red
119 1917 MS67 Red PCGS. In general, the finest Registry Set
collections of Lincoln cents will contain mostly MS65 Red and
MS66 Red (if they exist) examples of the early mintmarked issues,
with some issues unknown at the higher level. For the Philadelphia
Mint issues, however, those finest collections can feature the
occasional MS67 Red or even MS68 Red coin. Numismatists
outside the knowledgeable Lincoln cent cadres, when shown
such pieces, will marvel that such outstanding quality can survive
essentially unchanged over decades.
This remarkable Superb Gem Red coin will certainly inspire such
admiration, offering as it does impeccable surface preservation over
almond'tan surfaces that cede to cherry^red near the rims on the upper
obverse and lower reverse. The strike is equally impeccable, with
frosty luster and a near-total absence of abrasions (save for a single
visible tick on the reverse below the P of PLURIBUS) rounding out
this noteworthy package. Population: 15 in 67 Red, 2 finer (4/10).

Brilliant 1917 Doubled Die Cent
FS-101, MS66 Red
120 1917 Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Red PCGS. FS-101. Ex: Tom
Mershon Collection. It is miraculous that examples of this rare
Lincoln cent variety exist at all, and for that we have to thank the
nationwide minor coin shortage that developed in 1917 and 1918,
one that was also responsible for another rare and popular coin
variety, the 1918/7-D Buffalo nickel.
Because of the shortage of cents and nickels, the nation’s three
mints stepped up to the challenge. In the case of the Lincoln cent,
mintages at all three mints combined increased from about 190
million pieces in 1916 to more than 284 million pieces in 1917.
The Philadelphia Mint increased its output by about half, from 132
million cents in 1916 to 196 million in 1917.
Against this backdrop, and likely due to the generous mintage
for the time, the 1917 Doubled Die cents were created in sufficient
numbers that a few nice Uncirculated pieces still exist today.
Undiscovered until 1977, the Doubled Die 1917 is predictably
rare in all grades, with the usual example (when found) in the
lower circulated grades. The doubling is quite pronounced and
certainly not in the realm of “micronumismatics,” as is often the
case with some of the doubled dies discovered in recent years.
The doubling is most easily seen on WE TRUST and the date.
Considered by Livaz-Stanton as “one of the top five Lincoln cent
varieties.” It is extremely rare in Mint State, with Gems of the
utmost importance. Only three other pieces have been so graded,
with two finer (4/10). The surfaces of this coin have brilliant orange
mint color with an occasional area of gold. The sharply defined
surfaces show no obvious or distracting abrasions on either side.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#92497)
121 1917-S MS65 Red PCGS. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection. This
piece is a rarity among the San Lrancisco issue for the year in that
it was struck from relatively fresh dies on both the obverse and
reverse. It was the usual practice during 1917 and 1918 to work
three shifts around the clock to produce coins at our nation’s mints
during the critical wartime period of World War I. As a result
the dies were extensively worn before being replaced with new
ones. This was even more true at the Denver and San Lrancisco
production facilities because all of the dies were prepared at the
Philadelphia mint and had to be sent to the other two, making
them less readily available “out west.”
In addition to the sharply struck detail, this coin is refreshingly
lustrous with an eye-appealing golden-red patina that graces its
surfaces. Several small ticks appear mostly on the reverse that keep
it out of the next higher grade, which has only happened once at
PCGS and not at all at NGC. Minor deepening of color shows on
the reverse. A Lincoln specialist’s dream come true for the lucky
successful bidder. Population: 16 in 65 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

Outstanding 1918 Cent, MS67 Red
With Flaming Orange-Red Surfaces
122 1918 MS67 Red PCGS. CAC. The designer’s V.D.B. initials were
restored to the cent in 1918, placed on Lincoln’s shoulder next to
the rim. Fully Red 1918 cents can be located through the Gem level
of preservation. Premium Gems are considerably more challenging,
and higher-grade pieces are rare.
The flaming orange-red surfaces of this outstanding MS67 Red coin
display bold luster and a powerful strike. There are no mentionable

123 1918-D MS65 Red PCGS, The 1918-D, like its sibling 1918-S,
is extremely rare at the Gem Red level. This lovely piece shows
radiant luster over blond-gold and almond-tan surfaces, and the
strike is better than normal for this issue, which typically features
a weak strike. The reverse die is eroded, showing a “ghost” of the
Lincoln upside-down from the obverse, and the lower wheat ears
are softly struck. Certified in an old, small holder with a green label.

Elusive Red Gem 1918-S Lincoln Cent
124 1918-S MS65 Red PCGS. The typical Mint State 1918-S cent
is Brown or Red and Brown, with poorly struck design elements.
David Lange, in The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, states that
“any fully red coin is a rarity, while fully red and fully struck gems
are extremely rare.” Only about 120 Uncirculated 1918-S cents
have been assigned the fully Red status by PCGS and NGC, but
precious few of them are at the Gem level.
The present Red Gem exhibits a better-than-average strike;
the only noticeable softness appears on the lower right side of the
right wheat stalk. Lustrous orange-gold color dominates minimally
abraded surfaces. Some light toning spots are scattered over each
side. Population: 15 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Splendid MS68 Red 1919 Cent
Only One Graded Finer at PCGS
125 1919 MS68 Red PCGS. The 1919 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln
issue, the first postwar cents, had an unusually high mintage of
392 million pieces. This date was frequently found in circulation
in the 1950s and 1960s. Of course, pieces that qualify as MS68
by today’s standards are seldom encountered. This splendid coin
makes an excellent high grade example of this date. The surfaces
display fiery red color with glints of jade, and the striking details
are complete throughout. The only mentionable flaws are a couple
of microflecks in the field above the date. An outstanding early
Lincoln cent. Population: 14 in 68 Red, 1 finer (4/10).

mottled color, features the present issue avoids. Note the completion
of all of the reverse lettering, the full wheat ears on both sides of the
reverse, and the two distinct lines of the coat all the way from front

Marvelous, Sharp Gem Red 1919-S Lincoln Cent

enormous one at 139 million pieces, and until the 1950s-1960s
well-worn examples of the 1919-S could be found in circulation.
At the Gem Red level of the present coin, however, the issue is
extremely elusive, where PCGS has certified 21 examples with one
finer (4/10). This piece is a sharply struck example with original
flaming-red color, accented by small hints of hazel and ice-blue.
The bow tie, coat, hair details, beard, date, and mintmark are all
sharp. The reverse displays equal sharpness, save for moderate
softness on the AM of AMERICA. A marvelous example.

Unsurpassable 1920-D Cent, MS66 Red
Ex: Walsh, One of Five Finest at PCGS
129 1920-D MS66 Red PCGS. Ex: Jack Lee. With a mintage of
under 50 million pieces, the 1920-D is a lower-mintage but not
necessarily elusive issue. In circulated grades, most collectors can
spend a reasonable amount of money and come away contented.
The buyer who demands the best, however, is far more difficult
to satisfy. David Lange notes that most Mint State examples are
of “mediocre quality,” with strike and luster to blame; dies were
pushed well beyond the point of optimal retirement, and color
anomalies were common even before the coins left the Denver
Mint grounds. Perhaps the most memorable commentary on this
issue comes from Q. David Bowers, who writes in the Guide Book
of Lincoln Cents that “binding a sharply struck gem with original color
[italics his] is almost, but not quite, an impossibility.”
The present coin is tangible proof. The luster of this Premium
Gem example is not flashy (a 1920-D that has the appearance of a
1920-P should be checked for an added mintmark), but it is more
than adequate. The strike is uncommonly bold and from a desirable
earlier die state; the lines in the wheat ears and the details of the
portrait are bold. The smooth copper-orange of the obverse gives
way to elements of brick-red and lavender on the reverse, the latter
color almost approaching violet in areas. With just five MS66 Red
examples known to PCGS and none finer (4/10), this 1920-D cent
is utterly unsurpassable, a point the Lincoln cent aficionado should
remember.

certified nine pieces and PCGS has graded 10 coins, with none

Elusive 1921-S Cent, MS65 Red
Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS
132 1921-S MS65 Red PCGS. The 1921-S Lincoln has been known
as difficult issue for many years. With a mintage of only 15 million
pieces, examples were rarely found in circulation even back in the
1950s. From the collector’s standpoint, average Uncirculated coins
are not that difficult to locate and are moderately priced. But the
real stopper is a 1921-S with full Red color. In Gem condition,
NGC and PCGS combined have certified only 20 Gem Red coins,
17 by PCGS and three by NGC. None are finer at either service.
This coin lacks the often-seen “woodgrain” texture on many
1921-S cents. The surfaces range from almond-tan to reddish-
violet, but a loupe reveals tiny iridescent areas with bits of lime-
green, lilac, and orange-red on each side. The strike is good but
not full (we doubt that a fully struck 1921-S would exist), with
considerable definition on the reverse but soft details on Lincoln’s
beard and the mintmark, as often seen. The date is boldly brought
up. A rare opportunity for Lincoln cent collectors.

Blazing 1922-D Cent, MS66 Red
133 1922-D MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. Lincoln cents were only minted
in Denver in 1922, due to a poor economy with little need for small
coinage. The 1922 cents lacking a mintmark were actually struck in
Denver, the so-called 1922 No D cents. Shades of copper-pink and
yellow-gold adorn the lustrous surfaces of this attractive Premium
Gem 1922-D. The sharp strike is responsible for a pleasing wealth
of detail on the design elements, including the mintmark. Only
some lines in the rightmost wheat stalk reveal minor softness. The
1922-D is an in-demand semikey issue in the Lincoln cent series,
and this example, devoid of mentionable marks or spots, should
find a nice new home. Population: 10 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Amazing 1922 No D Cent, MS64 Red and Brown
Important Strong Reverse
134 1922 No D Strong Reverse MS64 Red and Brown NGC.
FS-401. Die Pair 2. An amazing example of the popular 1922
No D cent with the strong reverse. Multiple die varieties have
been described as 1922 No D cents in recent times, including
by the various grading services. Only examples like the present
piece, from the Strong Reverse die pair, also known as Die Pair
2, are the true No D cents. Years ago, all others were called
1922 Weak D cents, and carried little premium.
The interest in this variety is a result of the 1922 cent
production occurring only at the Denver Mint. Had additional
pieces been coined in Philadelphia in 1922, the variety
would never have been recognized. David Lange writes in
The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents: “The significance and
great value attached to the 1922 cent without mintmark
D is based entirely on the curious coincidence of no cents
being coined at the Philadelphia Mint during 1922. There’s
no telling how many other times that cents were issued from
the branch mints without a visible mintmark; such pieces are
automatically branded as P-Mint coins, though the generally
poor state of the dies would be a clue to their real status.”
Over the years, and even until quite recently, there has
been some difference of opinion regarding the importance of
this variety. It is known today that the No D was the result of
dressing or lapping a clash marked obverse die, in the process
removing all signs of the mintmark. The old reverse die was
discarded, and replaced with a new die. In 1945, an article in
The Numismatist explained the variety as a simple weak strike,
and as recently as 2005, one explanation was that they were
produced from grease filled dies.
This amazing cent is fully and completely lustrous, with
nearly full red mint frost that is just beginning to show evidence
of pale lilac and blue toning on the highpoints and in the fields.
A realistic estimate seems to be about 70% original red color.

Remarkable 1923-S Cent, MS65 Red
A Key Lincoln Issue in Gem Red Grade
136 1923-S MS65 Red NGC. In the 1950s, when Lincoln cents were
principally collected from pocket change, no one regarded the
1923-S as a key to a high grade collection. Certainly, the 1923-S
was considered a better date, but one that could be found (in worn
grades) with sufficient searching. As quality and specialization
became increasingly important, the 1923-S rose in significance.
PCGS published population reports that pointed out the rarity of
the 1923-S in full Red. Registry Sets were formed, focusing demand
on the 1923-S and other difficult branch mint issues from the teens
and twenties, such as the 1918-S or 1926-S.
Today, a 1923-S with consistent orange-red color and smooth,
nearly carbon-free surfaces is a coveted opportunity for the Lincoln
enthusiast. The present Gem offers those features, and the strike is
sharp save for minor blending on the right border of the right wheat
ear. Census: 2 in 65 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Challenging Gem Red 1927-S Cent
147 1927-S MS65 Red PCGS. David Lange, in The Complete Guide
to Lincoln Cents, says that “nearly all cents of this issue were poorly
made. Worn, eroded dies were the rule, and early die state examples
are exceedingly rare.” He further quotes a study in The Coin Dealer
Newsletter: “Finding a 1927-S to fit a top quality set will not be a
simple matter. The strike is often horrible and the color is often
dreary.” The present example example is decently struck, though
showing minor softness in the hair over Lincoln’s ear, the beard, and
a few letters of STATES and AMERICA. Lincoln’s portrait is a pale
greenish-tan, nicely set off by pinkish-orange fields. The reverse is
pinkish-orange throughout. A few trivial marks are undistracting.

the original mint red color has taken on a slight tinge of lime-
green around the margins. A marvelously preserved 1928 cent.

Exceptional 1928-D Cent, MS66 Red

149 1928-D MS66 Red PCGS. This Premium Gem Red coin is an
exceptional, high grade example of the 1928-D, an issue common in
low grades but quite challenging in the upper reaches of Mint State.
This rich, cherry-red coin has mostly even color throughout, save for
some faint accents of jade on the high points, and the strike details
are surprisingly strong. This piece is tied for the finest that NGC

150 1928-S MS65 Red PCGS. The 1928-S Lincoln in Gem Red

Lustrous Orange-Red 1929-D Cent, MS66 Red
152 1929-D MS66 Red PCGS. The 1929-D is a difficult issue to
find sharply struck, and here the reverse is better-struck than the

darker toning flecks. Population: 19 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Two-Toned 1929-S Cent, MS66 Red
153 1929-S MS66 Red PCGS. The 1929-S is among the more
available S-mint Lincoln cent issues of the 1920s, but at the
Premium Gem Red level, it is a different matter, where PCGS has
certified only 21 examples, and none finer (4/10). This specimen
boasts an adequate strike on both sides, with lovely two-toned
coloration: Orange-red predominates, complementing hazel and
blond near the left rims on each side. A pretty coin.

1931-S MS66 Red PCGS. The 1931 -S is a perennially popular
key to the Lincoln cent series, although for a price it is always
available in just about any Mint State grade. This Premium Gem
Red example, certified in a green-label holder, is tied for the finest
certified at PCGS with a few dozen other pieces. Spotting and
strike can both be problems for the 1931-S, but fortunately this
coin is spot-free and boasts an excellent strike overall. Minor ticks
on Lincoln’s bust determine the grade. An excellent representative
for a Registry Set. Population: 83 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Blazing 1932 Cent, MS67 Red
155 1932 MS67 Red PCGS. The 1932-PD and 1933-PD Lincoln cent

low-mintage Depression-era issues that can be found for a price in
Mint State Red condition. As a bonus, they are well-produced coins.
This Superb Gem Red 1932 is an outstanding example that has full,
blazing mint red with a hint of lilac around the margins. The strike is
sharp, and there are no mentionable abrasions. An obvious choice for
a Registry Set collector. Population: 24 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Red example boasts a flame-red obverse, with the reverse a more

the era in which mintages at Denver and San Francisco gradually
increased to the many millions of coins. This Superb Gem Red
1935-S is one of the seven finest certified at PCGS. The flaming

Important 1944-D Lincoln Cent Error
Struck on a Steel Planchet, AU55
170 1944-D Lincoln Cent—Struck on a Zinc-Coated Steel
Planchet—AU55 NGC. The off-metal branch mint 1943 and
1944 cents have small populations compared to their P-mint
counterparts. The standard explanation for the 1943 bronze
cents is that there were hundreds of millions more cents struck
at Philadelphia that year than there were at Denver and San
Francisco combined. Much the same logic could be applied to the
1944 steel cents, but there is an added wrinkle to their story.
An emergency coinage for Belgium during the waning days
of World War II was struck at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia,
and according to David Lange in his Complete Guide to Lincoln
Cents, the coinage, denomination two francs, was designed
specifically to use leftover steel cent planchets on hand from
the previous year. With so many steel planchets in use at
the same time copper-alloy cents were being struck, it would
be understandable if some of the old steel planchets found
their way between 1944-dated cent dies. San Francisco and
Denver, however, never presented this opportunity for cross-
contamination, and the known population of 1944-S and 1944-
D steel cents may well be lower as a result.
This piece still exhibits much of its original subdued luster,
with appealing powder-gray surfaces that are free of distractions,
despite the few darker charcoal-gray flecks that appear only
under a loupe. The strike is impressive, although a hair-thin
scrape appears at just the correct angle under a loupe in the
right obverse field. Die erosion creates some frosty areas near the
obverse border. A small planchet indentation on the reverse,
under the T of CENT, provides a pedigree marker but is likely
as made at the Mint.

summer of 1955, most survivors today show subdued mint red color
at best, and most are brown or have just a bit of red remaining. This
coin has unusually bright, shimmering orange-red luster with faint
traces of cherry-red around the obverse devices. A few flyspecks of
carbon are seen over each side, but there are no large spots or obvious

Legendary 1969-S Doubled Die Cent
MS64 Red and Brown
174 1969-S Doubled Die MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. FS-101.
While both the 1955 and 1972 Doubled Die Lincoln cents
are perennial favorites among students of the series, its 1969-
S counterpart was all but overlooked until recent years.
Despite dramatic doubling on the date, LIBERTY, and IN
GOD WE TRUST, this error suffered from the negative press
that surrounded several counterfeit P-mint cents of the same
year. Negative press cannot, however, disguise the fact that
this error is legitimately rare in all levels of preservation.
Numismatic scholars speculate that only a few hundred pieces
were produced in the year of issue.
Alongside these 1969-S Doubled Die Lincoln cents, a large
number of machine-doubled 1969-S cents exist, and they are
extremely common and have no numismatic value. Fortunately,
differentiating the varieties is simple. The machine-doubled
pieces have all of the obverse lettering doubled, including the
mintmark. Since the mintmark was placed in the die after it was
hubbed, true doubled die examples have a normal, undoubled S
below the date.
The present Mint State survivor displays predominantly
orange-red surfaces with pale blue-gray overtones on the
obverse. All features are boldly defined and the doubling
is readily evident to the naked eye. Needless to say, only a
carefully considered bid will win this piece—an example of one
of the most legendary and in-demand Lincoln cent varieties—
for an advanced assembly of Lincoln cents. This MS64 Red and
Brown piece is tied for the numerically finest certified with two
MS64 Red examples at PCGS (4/10).

on the first few letters of LIBERTY and the last digits in the date,
a variety that actually approaches the drama of the 1955 Doubled
Die Obverse. For some reason, 1972 Doubled Die cents are usually
found with abrasions and carbon spots. This piece is atypical, since
it offers virtually mark-free surfaces with no obvious spots on either

PROOF LINCOLN CENTS FROM THE BRENDA JOHN COLLECTION
Storied 1909 VDB Matte Proof
Lincoln Cent, PR65 Red
177 1909 VDB PR65 Red PCGS. This splendid Gem Red 1909
VDB matte proof shows the diagnostics of the die pair that for
many years was thought to be the only one used to produce the
matte proofs, although a second pair has recently surfaced that
lacks those diagnostics. Kevin Flynn outlines the diagnostics of
the originally known die pair in the recently released (2009)
Lincoln Cent Matte Proofs:
“A single set of working dies is [until recently] believed
to have struck all 1,194 1909 VDB matte proof speci¬
mens. All die states show a die scratch from the back of
the j acket into the field below the T of LIBERTY and
also die scratches in front of the nose. A late die state
specimen shows a die crack from the rim through the
dot then through the B of V.D.B. The obverse die was
also used to strike 1909 matte proofs. A second pair of
working dies was photographed 12 years ago which was
certified as a matte proof. This may have been an early
state of a business strike.”
On this coin, the die line behind the jacket actually extends
to the midway point between the R and T in LIBERTY. The
die lines in front of the nose are a parallel group, all running
north-northwest to south-southeast. This piece also shows the
“late state” die crack Flynn describes, from the rim through the
period and to the B in the designer’s initials. A tiny crescent¬
shaped die chip right of the M in UNUM is also diagnostic.
The rims are fully squared up, and the hair and beard details
are far beyond what is usually seen on business strikes. The fully
Red color ranges from almond-tan to golden-orange, although
a small bit of violet color appears in the right obverse field,
and a small gray spot appears just to top and right of the last
9. These are minor quibbles, however, on what is essentially a
marvelous and completely undistracting specimen of this issue,
among the most storied and legendary in the entire Lincoln
cent series. A rare opportunity for the many legions of Lincoln
cent collectors. Population: 7 in 65 Red, 9 finer (4/10).

Smooth 1909 Matte Lincoln, PR66 Red
178 1909 PR66 Red PCGS. This 1909 “plain” matte proof shows the
same die diagnostics as the 1909 VDB obverse die most commonly
known. As Kevin Flynn points out in his reference, the same obverse
die was used for both mintages. There is a straight die line that extends
from the rear of Lincoln’s coat to beneath RT of LIBERTY, and some
parallel die lines appear in the right obverse field by the nose.
This piece displays otherwise orange-red luster that assumes a
lilac cast in the peripheral areas at the lower obverse and reverse
borders. The smooth, sharp surfaces are virtually pristine, and the
only mentionable blemish is a tiny, undistracting carbon fleck on
the reverse at the N in CENT. Population: 39 in 66 Red, 6 finer

as this Red Superb Gem specimen are few and far between.
Gleaming almond-tan and orange-gold surfaces on both sides
appear entirely free of contact, although some minor dark flecks
occur on the reverse, invisible without a loupe. The surfaces show
the typical fine-grained, pebbly mattelike texture expected.
The strike is much sharper than found on any circulation-strike
Lincoln, with two completely separated coat lines at the neck and
full articulation on Lincoln’s beard and hairline. On the reverse, all
of the letters of the legends are crisp, as are the wheat ears from top
to bottom. Census: 2 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

Superb Gem matte proof for the color enthusiasts, although the
nameplate Red and Brown is actually deep blue and purple on the
obverse, with the date and lettering outlined in golden-orange,
while the reverse displays bluish-green and almond-tan hues. Kevin
Flynn’s useful Lincoln Cent Matte Proofs volume gives the mintage
as 1,365 coins and notes the later die state, as here, which shows
numerous die scratches, as made, between the chin and the 1 in
the date. An extremely appealing coin. Census: 5 in 67 Red and
Brown, 0 finer (4/10).

Remarkably Lustrous, Sharp 1915 Cent, PR67 Brown
181 1912 PR65 Red PCGS. This Gem Red matte proof is boldly struck
with rich copper-orange overtones. A few inconsequential carbon
flecks on each side keep this well preserved Lincoln from an even
loftier grade. One of the finest examples from an original mintage
of only 2,145 proofs. Population: 16 in 65 Red, 1 finer (4/10).
Ex: Baltimore Signature (Heritage, 7/03), lot 5740; FUN Signature
(Heritage, 1/04), lot 4901; Pittsburgh Signature (7/04), lot 5367.

Flaming Red-Orange 1913 Cent, PR65 Red
184 1915 PR67 Brown NGC. This is a remarkably attractive Superb
Gem matte proof, and once again the nominal Brown moniker
does not begin to describe the actual appearance. Under any
decent light, the surfaces take on a uniform, rich metallic steel-blue
coloration on both sides, the reverse perhaps a bit more intensely
and adding a few purple accents. Few proofs of this date have
achieved the PR67 level within any color designation. Remarkable
glossy luster glows beneath the patina, and the strike is as full as
can be. Census: 2 in 67 Brown, 0 finer (4/10). Ex: FUN Signature
(Heritage, 1/08), lot 523, which brought $7,475.

Superb Gem Proof Red and Brown
1916 Lincoln Cent
185 1916 PR67 Red and Brown NGC. Only cents and nickels were
coined in proof format in 1916, simplifying the task of collecting
a proof set of the year. This Superb Gem proof Lincoln cent has a
beautiful blend of violet, blue, and faded mint red color. The strike is
full with crisp, squared devices that seem to float over the fields.
This piece matches the characteristics that Dave Bowers records
in A Guide Book of Lincoln Cents: “Most pristine (undipped) coins
are a rich light brown color. Some have original red-orange color
on one or both sides, but are never fully brilliant.”
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3325)
Appealing 1936 Satin Finish Cent, PR66 Red
186 1936 Type One—Satin Finish PR66 Red NGC. Orange-red
surfaces on this example show a few tiny contact marks that
preclude an even finer grade, and some stray dark flecks appear only
under a loupe. The reverse has a bit of purple in the center letters
and field, and a couple of small strikethroughs appear near the
left wheat ear. An appealing coin despite some minor drawbacks.
Census: 7 in 66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3332)
Appealing 1936 Brilliant PR66 Red Cent
187 1936 Type Two—Brilliant Finish PR66 Red PCGS. The surfaces
on this piece are extremely brilliant as expected, with attractive
blonde-gold patina throughout. A single dark fleck to the left of the O
in ONE in unseen without a loupe, as is a tiny toning spot just above
Lincoln’s head. The aesthetic appeal is much higher than normal
for this proof variant. Population: 29 in 66 Red, 2 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3335)
Sharp PR67 Red 1937 Lincoln
188 1937 PR67 Red PCGS. From a mintage of 9,320 pieces, this
PR67 Red example is one of the 10 so certified at PCGS, with
none finer (4/10). Fiery sunset-orange luster prevails throughout,
with an excellent strike and nary a distraction in sight. Another
unimprovable example for a fine Registry Set.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3338)
Distraction-Free 1938 Cent, PR67 Red
189 1938 PR67 Red PCGS. Orange-red luster prevails on both sides,
with a sharp strike as expected for this issue of 14,734 proof cents.
Noticeable contrast is present between the fields and devices, if
insufficient for a Cameo designation. Essentially free of distractions,
this piece is among the 28 certified at PCGS in PR67 Red, are none
are finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3341)
190 1939 PR67 Red NGC. Sunset-orange surfaces on this Superb Gem
Red piece are well-struck and highly reflective, while showing little
field-device contrast, the norm for the era. A few minor toning
flecks appear on the reverse, but they are not overly distracting.
Census: 27 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).

191 1940 PR67 Red PCGS. The proof mintage of this first 1940s cent
was less than 16,000 pieces. This splendid Superb Gem Red proof
boasts rich orange-red color with a bold strike and a few lilac toning
flecks near the obverse rims. One of only 10 so certified at PCGS,
with none finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3347)
Praiseworthy 1941 Cent, PR67 Red
Tied for Finest Certified
192 1941 PR67 Red PCGS. The watery mirrors are almost entirely
copper-orange, with subtle rainbow iridescence at the right obverse
and reverse margins. The strike is bold, and the eye appeal is as
impressive as the preservation. The 1941 proof cents were produced
to the extent of only 21,100 pieces, at a time when collectors could
order their favorite denominations from the Mint individually.
This praiseworthy Superb Gem Red coin, certified in a green-label
holder, is one of only three so certified at PCGS, and neither it nor
NGC has certified any Red coins finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3350)
193 1942 PR66 Red PCGS. This splendid proof 1942 cent is certified
in an early green-label full-size holder. The surfaces are blond-tan
with glints of orange and lilac. The strike is boldly impressed,
although we note a couple of minor flecks on the reverse under a
loupe. Population: 93 in 66 Red, 3 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3353)
194 1950 PR68 Red NGC. An enticing and exquisitely preserved
example of this important midcentury proof issue, predominantly
peach with a near-vertical band of lemon-gold at the center of the
obverse. Census: 6 in 68 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Houston Signature (Heritage, 11/07), lot 60154.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3359)
Blazing 1952 Cent, PR67 Red Cameo
195 1952 PR67 Red Cameo PCGS. The considerable field-device
contrast on this piece is unusual but justly noted by PCGS, putting
this piece among only 20 Cameo coins at the PR67 level, with
one finer (4/10). The blazing orange-red surfaces are awash with
brilliant luster and show only a few minor brownish toning flecks—
not carbon—under a loupe.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#83365)
196 1956 PR68 Red Cameo PCGS. A magnificent orange-yellow
Superb Gem. The strike is razor-sharp, and the glassy fields are
pristine for all practical purposes. Cameo contrast is unmistakable.
Population: 23 in 68 Red Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).

First-Rate 1990 No S Lincoln, PR69 Deep Cameo
197 1990 No S PR69 Deep Cameo PCGS. When proof dies
were manufactured in Philadelphia, they were made without a
mintmark. The dies were then stamped with the small S below
the date and then sent to San Francisco for use to mint coins
for proof sets. Occasionally, a die would miss the mintmark step
and be shipped out West without it. Such is the scenario that
created this incredible, virtually perfect 1990 No S Lincoln cent.
It has amazing bright orange luster with incredible eye appeal. The
devices are bold and the overall quality is first rate. Population: 21
in 69 Deep Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).

ADDITIONAL LINCOLN CENTS
198 1909 VDB MS67 Red PCGS. A fantastically lustrous example
of this one'year-only type issue. Textured surfaces are carefully
preserved with multidimensional copper color accented in pale
canary-gold. (#2425)
199 1909 VDB MS67 Red NGC. A gorgeous peach-red Superb Gem
with minimal carbon and only a couple of inconsequential grazes
on the upper left obverse field. Fully struck aside from the designer’s
initials, which are nonetheless clear. Housed in a former generation
holder.
Ex: Kim Mitchell Collection (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 5282, which
realized $690.(#2425)
200 1909 VDB Doubled Die Obverse, DDO-001 MS64 Red NGC.
FS-1101. This is the sharp doubled die obverse with prominent
doubling on RTY and the date. A lovely example, this near-Gem
has fully brilliant and frosty orange luster with sharp design features.
Census: 5 in 64 Red, 8 finer (4/10). (#82425)

1909 VDB Doubled Die Obverse, DDO-002, MS65 Red PCGS.
FS-1102. This Cherrypickers’ variety is identified by thickness on
the tails of the 9s in the date. The obverse is yellow-gold, and the
reverse is straw-gold. A dash of toning left of the date limits the
grade. Population: 21 in 65 Red, 10 finer (4/10).(#37636)
1909-S VDB—Environmental Damage—NGC Details. Fine.
This deep brown key date representative displays wear on the
portrait although the lines in the wheat ears are nearly fully
separated. Moderately granular, more so on the obverse. (#2426)
1909-S VDB XF40 NGC. Lincoln’s head and vest display only
moderate wear, and the olive-brown surfaces display noticeable
luster. A loupe reveals occasional minute flecks and marks, but
none are remotely distracting. (#2426)
1909-S VDB XF40 ANACS. This chocolate-brown key date
cent has only light wear on the cheekbone and the hair above the
ear. Traces of luster glimmer from the legends and devices. Minute
marks are distributed.(#2426)
1909-S VDB XF40 PCGS. A pleasing olive-brown example of
the always popular and desirable 1909-S VDB cent, the key to the
Lincoln cent series. This piece has smooth surfaces with traces of
verdigris in some of the letters. (#2426)
1909-S VDB—Environmental Damage—NGC Details. AU.
This sharply struck example has myriad tiny verdigris spots on its
olive-brown surfaces.(#2426)
1909-S VDB—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. Actual
circulation wear is trivial, but this lustrous key date cent is bright
due to unnatural sun-gold and lime-green color. Both sides have a
few minute spots, but no marks are relevant. (#2426)
1909-S VDB AU55 NGC. Violet-brown surfaces show faint
glimmers of luster on this lightly worn first-year key cent. Solid
design definition completes the eye appeal of this piece, which
would make a solid inclusion in an otherwise Mint State set.
(#2426)
1909-S VDB—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Unc.
Sharply struck with mattelike surfaces. The color is an artificially
bright yellow in the centers that shifts to a more naturalistic orange
near the rims. (#2426)
1909-S VDB MS62 Brown PCGS. Rich walnut-brown color on
the obverse takes on blue overtones on the reverse. A well-defined
example of this ever-popular issue, housed in a green label holder.
(#2426)
1909-S VDB MS63 Brown PCGS. The initial orange color
clings to design recesses, although the open fields and the portrait
are toned brown. This lustrous key date cent has precisely struck
VDB initials, while carbon and contact are of little consequence.
(#2426)
1909-S VDB MS64 Brown NGC. The lustrous and unmarked
fields and devices are devoid of carbon. Rich apple-green and tan-
brown toning blends throughout. The strike is intricate, including
on the all-important VDB initials.(#2426)
1909-S VDB MS64 Brown PCGS. Traces of orange-red accompany
protected areas, but this satiny key date cent is predominantly
chocolate-brown. Minor contact is limited to Lincoln’s vest. A
pleasing example of this eternal collector favorite.(#2426)
1909-S VDB MS63 Red and Brown PCGS. Considerable copper-
orange and rose coloration mingles with deeper mahogany on this
Select Red and Brown coin. Well struck with solid eye appeal, a
great example of the famous first-year key date.(#2427)

Lustrous 1909-S VDB Cent, MS64 Red and Brown
215 1909-S VDB MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. The important and
always popular 1909-S VDB Lincoln is represented here with a
lovely Choice Mint State piece that combines considerable orange
mint luster with blue-brown and violet patina. Several pieces in
the present sale provide collectors with a choice of grades. (#2427)
Gleaming 1909-S VDB Cent, Gem Red and Brown
218 1909-S VDB MS65 Red and Brown NGC. The strike on this coin
is exceptionally strong on the VDB initials and most of the obverse
details, save for a hint of softness at the collar lines where they cross
the neck. The surfaces are mostly a glossy milk-chocolate, with
gleaming mint red outlining the devices and lettering, a bit more
prominent on the reverse. (#2427)
Appealing 1909-S VDB Cent, MS65 Red and Brown
216 1909-S VDB MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Like most
examples of the issue, this 1909-S VDB offers a sharp strike, even on
areas such as the top of the O in ONE that are often found weakly
struck on later mintmarked issues. This piece possesses much mint
red still present, with others areas tending to a brownish-violet
color and some iridescent shading present. An appealing coin.
(#2427)
Sharp Gem Red and Brown
1909-S VDB Cent
217 1909-S VDB MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. This is a nice,
sharply struck, commendable example of the 1909-S VDB that
has just barely stepped over the threshold of a Red designation to
the Red and Brown area. The designer’s initials on the reverse and
the separating periods are sharp as well, although minor softness
appears on the last 9 in the date. PCGS has graded only 29 Red and
Brown examples finer (4/10). (#2427)
Pristine MS66 Red and Brown
1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent
219 1909-S VDB MS66 Red and Brown NGC. Gleaming surfaces
on this splendid Premium Gem appear quite close to the full Red
designation, and even under a loupe, abrasions are seemingly
absent. A few microscopic flecks appear in the obverse fields but
do little to detract from the appeal. The strike is a bit mushy on the
designer’s initials, as seen on many examples of the issue. This piece
is one of only 45 specimens certified by NGC at the MS66 Red and
Brown level, and there are none finer (4/10). (#2427)
Lovely Red 1909-S VDB Cent, MS64
220 1909-S VDB MS64 Red PCGS. This is a lovely near-Gem of this
popular key date, displaying a bit of the woodgrain toning that the
cents of 1909 frequently show. There are four known mintmark
positions for 1909-S VDB cents, and this coin shows the lowest
and rightmost position of the four. The mintmark is far below the
bottoms of both 9s in the date, and the left side of the S mintmark
is just barely to the left of the 0 in the date, so that it is almost
entirely under that digit. The strike is sharp on this piece and there
are few abrasions present. (#2428)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 51
221 1909-S VDB MS65 Red NGC. Even the designer’s initials are
boldly struck on this delightful Gem Red coin, something that not
all examples of this key issue at this level can boast. Copper-orange
dominates the lower obverse, with a crescent of greenish-gold above
Lincoln’s head. The reverse is a bit deeper-hued and reveals a single
small dark toning fleck under a loupe, one that fails to dampen the
allure. NGC has certified 44 Red examples finer (4/10). (#2428)
Gorgeous 1909-S VDB Cent, MS65 Red
222 1909-S VDB MS65 Red PCGS. The collector is presented with
an amazing opportunity to acquire a fully brilliant and attractive
Gem representative of the famous 1909-S VDB cent, one of the
most widely recognized 20th century coins. Collectors and non¬
collectors alike are familiar with this rarity. This example has a
sharp strike with hints of green and iridescent toning over brilliant
orange mint luster. (#2428)
Magnificent MS67 Red 1909 Lincoln Cent
223 1909 MS67 Red PCGS. A fantastic example of this first-year
issue, elusive as a Red Superb Gem but often overshadowed by its
VDB counterpart. Swirling luster dominates subtly textured surfaces
that showcase intense orange colors with suggestions of rose. Boldly
impressed and delightful in all respects. Neither NGC nor PCGS
has graded an MS68 Red example (4/10). (#2431)
224 1909-S MS65 Red PCGS. This low-mintage, first-year branch
mint Gem is both well struck and unabraded. Lustrous with apricot
and sun-gold color. Minor carbon is noted on the reverse exergue
and near the profile and collar. (#2434)
225 1909-S MS65 Red NGC. CAC. Copper-yellow and orange hues
grace this Red Gem, part of the popular 1909-S Lincoln issue. Well-
defined and carefully preserved, and housed in a prior-generation
holder. (#2434)
226 1909-S S Over Horizontal S MS65 Red PCGS. FS-1502. This
beautiful Gem has vibrant luster and consistent peach-gold color.
A lens reveals only inconsequential carbon. A popular blundered
mintmark variety of this low mintage first-year issue.(#92434)
Bright, Original Red 1910-S Cent, MS67
227 1910-S MS67 Red NGC. By 1910, the novelty value of the
Lincoln cent had worn off, and the 1910-S issue in particular was
little saved; as a result, high-end survivors from this issue of slightly
over 6 million pieces are elusive and desirable. Q. David Bowers
comments in his Guide Book of Lincoln Cents , “A blazing gem with
original color is scarce if sharply struck and with good eye appeal.”
This Superb Gem passes muster in all respects, and the lemon-
tinged copper-peach surfaces have particularly appealing luster
and considerable fire. Census: 3 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10). (#2440)
228 1912-D MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. This 1912-D cent has brilliant
orange mint luster with frosty surfaces and bold design details.
Magnification reveals a few tiny carbon flecks on this otherwise
appealing piece.(#2455)
229 1912-D MS65 Red PCGS. Both sides of this sharply defined
and eye appealing Gem have brilliant orange mint luster with
frosty surfaces. A few inactive carbon specks prevent a higher
grade. PCGS has only certified 13 finer examples of this issue.
(#2455)
230 1912-S MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. This handsome Gem
has brick-red borders and olive centers. Satiny and unabraded.
The strike is essentially unimprovable. Another challenging early
branch mint issue seldom encountered in unspotted Uncirculated
grades. (#245 7)
231 1913-S MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. A pinpoint-sharp Gem that
possesses beautiful rose-red, forest-green, and orange-gold colors.
Satiny and unmarked with a pristine appearance. Encapsulated in a
first generation holder. (#2466)
232 1914-D XF45 NGC. A lovely Choice XF example of this popular
Lincoln cent key. Deep brown surfaces show flickers of gold and
olive at the rims. Well-defined for the level of wear present.
(#2471)
233 1914-D XF45 PCGS. Both sides of this pleasing, lightly circulated
key-date have intermingled olive-brown and mahogany patina,
with only a few tiny surface marks that are expected for the grade.
(#2471)
234 1914-D—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. This sharply
impressed key date cent shimmers with luster and has barely a trace
of wear. Once recolored, but since mellowed to subdued rose-red
and olive-brown. (#2471)

235 1914-D MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. This key issue is certified
in a small green-label holder. The fields on each side are faded lilac,
with the devices and part of the fields alternating that shade with a
medium brown. Some luster resides over each side, and no contact
is evident. An interesting die crack runs from the obverse rim at
5 o’clock up onto the forward coat and to the bow tie. PCGS has
graded 39 Red and Brown coins finer (5/10). (#2472)
236 1915-D MS65 Red PCGS. Light satin luster with a mixture of
copper-orange shadings on each side. Well-defined with a small
spot noted to the right of Lincoln’s lips. PCGS has graded 17 Red
examples in higher grades (4/10).(#2482)
237 1915-D MS65 Red NGC. Traces of pale blue toning appear on
the high points of this fully lustrous Gem. Both sides are sharply
defined with brilliant mint color. Census: 40 in 65 Red, 7 finer
(4/10).(#2482)
Exemplary 1915-D Lincoln Cent, MS66 Red
238 1915-D MS66 Red NGC. This exemplary Premium Gem has
flashy fields and an unabraded appearance. Carbon is virtually
absent. Rose and sun-gold swaths endow both sides. Only the M
in AMERICA lacks a needle-sharp strike. Worthy of personal
examination by the dedicated Lincoln enthusiast. Census: 7 in 66
Red, 0 finer (4/10). (#2482)
239 1919-S MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. This mark-free Gem
is nicely struck save for weakness opposite Lincoln’s shoulder.
Apricot and lime-green surfaces display infrequent minor carbon. A
conditionally rare San Francisco issue. Housed in an old green label
holder. Population: 25 in 65 Red and Brown, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Brian Loncar Collection (Heritage, 5/2003), lot 5348.
(#2520)
240 1920-D MS65 Red PCGS. A well struck branch mint Gem whose
pumpkin-gold fields and devices display only a couple of minute
flecks. A highly attractive cent that has remained unchanged since
placed in its green label holder more than a decade ago. Population:
84 in 65 Red, 5 finer (4/10).(#2527)
241 1921-S MS65 Red and Brown NGC. The lustrous surfaces show
an amalgam of deep, variegated red-gold and purple-rose patina,
with occasional glints of lime-green color also noted on each side.
Well struck throughout and carefully preserved, with mark-free
surfaces that display minimal carbon. Census: 33 in 65 Red and
Brown, 0 finer (4/10).(#2535)
242 1922-D MS65 Red PCGS. Blond-gold and orange-red compete
for space on this highly lustrous and delightful Gem semikey, one
of the most popular Lincoln cent issues of the 1920s due to its low
mintage and other factors (perhaps its association with the 1922
No D cents). The strike is well brought up on both sides, although
the reverse die shows some evidence of erosion, and a die crack
runs through the right wheat ear. A few dark flecks that appear only
under a loupe are scarcely worth mentioning. Population: 82 in 65
Red, 10 finer (4/10). (#2539)
243 1922 No D Strong Reverse VF25 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2.
The comparatively sharp TRUST, and the bold second 2 in the
date, confirm this desirable Lincoln cent variety. The lines within
the wheat ears are generally distinct, and the chocolate-brown
fields are unblemished. (#3 285)
244 1922 No D Strong Reverse VF30 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2.
The bold lines in the wheat ears on the reverse stand out despite
moderate wear. Golden-brown peripheral and fields accents light
up surfaces that have a walnut shade overall. (#3285)
245 1922 No D Strong Reverse VF30 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2. A
pleasing example of the true 1922 Plain variety with a weak obverse
and strong reverse. This desirable piece has moderate wear on both
sides, with the reverse appearing about two grades stronger than the
obverse. These coins are graded by the reverse only. (#3285)
246 1922 No D Strong Reverse VF35 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2.
This deep brown representative retains pleasing sharpness on the
wheat ears, although IN GOD WE is blurry due to the use of a
well-worn obverse die. A few faded thin marks are noted above
LIBERTY. (#3285)
247 1922 No D Strong Reverse XF40 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2.
This medium brown key date cent has pleasing detail on the wheat
ears. Close inspection locates a few small, moderate marks and a
whisper of granularity on the reverse near 6:30.(#3285)
248 1922 No D Strong Reverse XF40 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2.
Bold blue-brown color and considerable glossy luster. The obverse
is characteristically weak, while the reverse has this die pair’s
signature bold lines in the wheat ears. (#3285)
Pleasing 1922 No D Cent, Strong Reverse, AU50
249 1922 No D Strong Reverse AU50 PCGS. CAC. FS-401. Die
Pair 2. The weaker first 2 in the date diagnoses the Die Pair 2, the
official 1922 No D cent, along with the Strong Reverse, of course,
although the Weak D two varieties both show the first 2 in the date
stronger than the second 2. The No D also shows TRUST stronger
than IN GOD WE. This piece has pleasing milk-chocolate surfaces
with no mentionable marks other than a few ticks on Lincoln’s hair
and cheek. (#3285)

250 1922 No D Strong Reverse AU50 PCGS. FS-401. Die Pair 2.
The weak obverse and strong reverse are characteristics of all Die
Pair 2 examples, the only true 1922 Plain Lincoln cents. The other
known die pairs are 1 and 3, both considered Weak D varieties.
Although light surface marks are evident, the overall eye appeal is
exceptional. (#3285)

Chocolate-brown overall with a few streaks of deep gray on the

are consequential, but a tiny spot is noted above the N in ONE.

Superb Gem Red 1925 Lincoln Cent
Bright Original Color
252 1925 MS67 Red PCGS. From a mintage of nearly 140 million
pieces, the 1925 Lincoln cent is an available date in all grades up
to the Premium Gem level. In Superb Gem Red condition, the
issue becomes quite scarce, and no specimen has been graded finer
within the Red designation by either leading grading service (4/10).
Sharp striking details and bright original color distinguish this
specimen and, in combination with the high technical grade, make
it an ideal choice for a fine Registry collection. (#2560)
253 1926 MS67 Red PCGS. Rich pumpkin-gold centers are framed
by butter-gold margins. Booming luster and an exemplary strike
combine with mark-free surfaces. Population: 79 in 67 Red, 0 finer
(4/10).(#2569)
254 1926 MS67 Red PCGS. This gorgeous Superb Gem has dynamic
luster and a pristine appearance. Fire-red throughout the fields and
devices, with a whisper of olive-gold near the rims. Population: 79
in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10).(#2569)
Attractive Gem Red 1927-S Cent
255 1927-S MS65 Red NGC. The 1927-S Lincoln cent issue is a
difficult one, due both to strike and occasional planchet problems.
This lustrous Red Gem has a better-than-average strike, save for
softness on the O in ONE. The attractive surfaces are orange-gold
with only a few trivial flecks. One of the finest certified at either
service. Census: 7 in 65 Red, 0 finer (5/10). (#2584)
256 1928 MS67 Red PCGS. Lovely honey-gold and olive colors
invigorate this suitably struck and highly lustrous Superb Gem. The
surfaces are nearly free from contact, and the only hint of carbon is
a tiny fleck on the obverse rim at 7 o’clock. Due to its Philadelphia
Mint status, little attention was paid to the 1928 Cent until recent
years, but its scarcity in high Mint State grades places it under
strong demand from Registry Set collectors. Population: 53 in 67
Red, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Palm Beach Signature (Heritage, 11/2004), lot 5546, which
realized $2,300. (#2587)
Elusive Gem Red 1928-S Cent
257 1928-S MS65 Red PCGS. The 1928-S at the Gem Red level is
considerably more difficult than generally realized outside of the
specialist community. This example boasts an adequate strike,
sharper on the obverse, with mellow orange coloration. Certified in
a green-label holder, this piece shows some hits on the lower bust
that preclude an even finer grade. Population: 42 in 65 Red, 5 finer
(4/10). (#2593)
258 1929 MS67 Red PCGS. This orange-red Superb Gem has
unimprovable luster and a pleasing strike. No field marks are
visible, and carbon is essentially absent. A desirable representative
with none better seen at either service. Population: 44 in 67 Red, 0
finer (4/10).(#2596)
259 1929-S MS67 Red NGC. The obverse is orange-red save for an
occasional wisp of powder-blue. The reverse features diverse shades
of sun-gold, peach-red, and lilac. Highly lustrous, with splendid eye
appeal, and one of the finest known. Census: 2 in 67 Red, 0 finer
(4/10).(#2602)

Glowing MS67 Red 1931 Lincoln Cent
260 1931 MS67 Red NGC. The well struck surfaces display radiant
orange-red mint luster, and seemingly flawless preservation. The
obverse fields are especially noteworthy and free from abrasions. No
example of this issue has been graded finer at either of the major
services. Census: 11 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10). (#2614)
261 1931-S MS66 Red PCGS. One of the key-date issues among
Lincoln cents with a low mintage of just 866,000 coins, the second
lowest mintage of any date and mintmark combination in the
entire Lincoln cent series. This pumpkin-gold Premium Gem has
exemplary luster and an undisturbed appearance. Population: 83 in
66 Red, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 7/2004), lot 5297, which realized
$2,300. (#2620)
Red Superb Gem 1933 Cent
262 1933 MS67 Red PCGS. A lustrous and sharply struck Gem
with impressive preservation and glorious orange-gold color. An
unimprovable example of this lower mintage Philadelphia issue.
Encapsulated in an old green label holder. Population: 32 in 67
Red, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Francis Sullivan Collection (Heritage, 11/2002), lot 5514. (#2629)
263 1941 Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Red NGC. FS-101. An “old
school” doubled die in the words of Fivaz-Stanton, with the most
notable spread on the B of LIBERTY and the S in TRUST. Bright
orange to copper-gold surfaces show a spot of opaque color below
the second 1 in the date.(#2695)
264 1942-S/S Doubled Die Obverse MS67 Red ANACS. FS-101.
This brilliant Superb Gem is an amazing example of the elusive
doubled die variety that is an exception to the rule that branch mint
doubled die varieties have normal mintmarks. In the case of this
variety, the obverse die is doubled, and the mintmark is repunched.
Both sides are boldly struck with frosty luster.(#2710)
Singular MS69 1943-S Cent
265 1943-S MS69 NGC. As the only MS69 1943-S cent in the
combined certified population (4/10), this coin is an important
trump for the Registry collector. Steel-white surfaces are tinged in
blue with small variations in the luster on the reverse and a few
minor areas of color at the right obverse border. Boldly defined
overall but with a slight striking defect on the 4 in the date and the
nearby mintmark. (#2717)
266 1950-D MS67 Red NGC. Vibrant peach and copper-orange colors
dominate the eye appeal of this solidly struck Superb Gem. A single
tiny flyspeck is noted on the right obverse rim. Neither NGC nor
PCGS has graded a numerically finer Red representative (4/10).
(#2782)
267 1955 Doubled Die Obverse—Obverse Cleaned—ANACS.
Unc Details, Net AU50. FS-101. A sharply struck example of
the famous doubled die with no trace of wear. The obverse has
unnatural blue-gray and honey-green colors, while the reverse has a
more natural blend of muted copper-orange and olive. Housed in a
small-format ANACS holder. (#2825)
268 1955 Doubled Die Obverse AU50 NGC. FS-101. A lightly worn
example of this boldly doubled variant with deep walnut-brown
surfaces. A few colorful accents are present, including flickers of
olive and blue.(#2825)
269 1955 Doubled Die Obverse AU55 NGC. FS-101. Deep brown
surfaces are glossy with prominent blue and violet overtones.
Minimally abraded but with minor rub across the high points. The
doubling has a clear appearance.(#2825)
Full Red MS64 1955 Doubled Die Cent
270 1955 Doubled Die Obverse MS64 Red PCGS. FS-101. Though
strongly doubled dies had appeared on American coinage before
the 1955 doubled die cents came to light, few collectors appreciated
them. The 1955 pieces, however, were so visually striking and
such blatant errors that they fired the imaginations of thousands,
numismatists and non-numismatists alike. The coins also inspired
collectors to learn more about the minting process, which offered
greater insight into collecting other errors and oddities produced by
the U.S. Mint.
This fiery example has pale copper-orange surfaces with subtle
pink and rose inflections. The strike is crisp, and the doubling at
the obverse margin is bold as always. An attractive coin that could
find a place in the finest of Lincoln cent collections. PCGS has
graded a mere 18 finer Red examples (4/10). (#2827)
271 1972 Doubled Die Obverse MS66 Red NGC. FS-101. This fire-
red Premium Gem has booming luster and an absence of carbon.
The strike is intricate, and the eye appeal is formidable. FS-101 is
easily the most prominent of the several doubled die cent varieties
from 1972.(#2950)

PROOF LINCOLN CENTS
Prized PR65 Red and Brown 1912 Cent
272 1912 PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. An attractive Red and
Brown Gem specimen of this popular matte proof Lincoln cent
issue, decidedly more Red than Brown with light green and violet
peripheral elements gracing scarcely-turned copper-gold surfaces.
Sharply detailed and exquisitely appealing, a largely undisturbed
beauty. Population: 40 in 65 Red and Brown, 10 finer (4/10).
(#3313)
273 1913 PR65 Red and Brown NGC. This fully struck proof Lincoln
cent has bold design details on both sides with lovely surfaces and
rich lime, violet, and orange color. A few tiny spots are of little
concern when considered with the balance of the surfaces that are
pristine. (#3316)
274 1914 PR64 Red and Brown NGC. Dusky orange, ruby, claret, and
walnut-brown shades flicker across this matte proof cent. Excellent
design definition with minor carbon and a few small disturbances
of the surface texture. Census: 26 in 64 Red and Brown, 65 finer
(4/10).(#3319)
275 1914 PR65 Red and Brown NGC. This Gem is more Red in
appearance than Brown with copper-orange surfaces that are dusky
with green-brown overtones. Impressively detailed and pleasingly
preserved with minimal carbon. Census: 34 in 65 Red and Brown,
31 finer (4/10).(#3319)
Razor-Sharp 1915 Lincoln, PR65 Brown
276 1915 PR65 Brown PCGS. As usual, “Brown” scarcely serves
to describe the lovely coloration on this matte proof. Deep pink,
purple, gold, and mint take turns on the obverse, while the reverse
displays pink and purple predominating. The strike is razor-sharp,
among the boldest we have seen for the issue. A super piece for the
matte proof Lincoln aficionados. (#3321)
277 1936 Type One—Satin Finish PR66 Red PCGS. The Satin
Finish proofs are readily distinguished due to the lack of brilliance
on the devices, as well as a somewhat pebbly unpolished texture in
the fields. This Premium Gem Red coin displays vibrant obverse
luster, with sunset-orange color alternating with blond high points.
The reverse luster is a bit more subdued because of some horizontal
light-tan streaks. An attractive and well-struck coin. Population:
23 in 66 Red, 1 finer (4/10). (#3332)
Fully Struck 1936 Brilliant PR66 Red Cent
278 1936 Type Two—Brilliant Finish PR66 Red PCGS. The first
year of modern proof Lincoln cent mintage, the 1936 was made
to the extent of only 5,569 coins. Mellow golden-orange fields
contrast with some silver-gray coloration on Lincoln’s cheek and
neck. This is a fully struck piece with good eye appeal, despite
a few minor dark flecks on the reverse that are unbothersome.
Population: 29 in 66 Red, 2 finer (4/10). (#3335)

Registry-Level 1937 Cent, PR67 Red Cameo
279 1937 PR67 Red Cameo PCGS. Ex: Tom Mershon Collection.
Although a handful of 1937 proof Lincolns, with a total mintage
of 9,320 coins, are certified at PCGS in grades up to PR67 Red,
in PR67 Red Cameo this piece is tied for finest certified with
only one other coin—or else this piece has been submitted twice.
Considerable contrast that appears to verge on Deep Cameo appears
on each side of this stunning sunset-orange piece, and the effect is
especially noticeable on the wheat ears and lettering of the reverse.
A likely candidate for acquisition by Registry Set collectors of the
popular Lincoln cent series. (#83338)
Splendid 1938 Cent, PR67 Red
280 1938 PR67 Red PCGS. Two years after their inception, the proof
mintage of the Lincoln cent had increased from less than 6,000
coins in 1936 to nearly 15,000 in 1938. This splendid Superb Gem
offers deep, intense brick-red coloration on the obverse, with some
small areas of hazel on the high points. Larger quantities of hazel
predominate in the center reverse, with brick-red at the rims.
Carbon is absent. Population: 28 in 67 Red, 0 finer (4/10). (#3341)
Gleaming PR67 Red 1940 Cent
282 1940 PR67 Red PCGS. Gleaming sunset-orange coloration
throughout and a bold strike greet the viewer of this marvelous
Superb Gem Red proof. Only three or four minuscule flecks appear
on the reverse, scarcely worthy of mention. This piece is one of only
10 so graded at PCGS, and there are none finer (4/10). (#3347)
1942 Cent, PR66 Red Cameo
Rarely Encountered With Contrast
283 1942 PR66 Red Cameo PCGS. The pleasing cameo contrast is
enhanced with bright golden patina that deepens slightly to cherry-
red at selected border areas. A remarkable, fully original survivor.
Proofs from 1936 to 1942 are rarely encountered with any depth
of cameo contrast, and the present premium Gem is an exception.
Population: 3 in 66 Cameo, 1 finer (4/10). (#83353)
Gleaming 1990 No S Proof Cent
Housed in a Prestige Set
284 1990 No S Proof Cent in a 1990 Prestige Set. The Prestige Sets
combined regular proof sets for a year with a silver commemorative,
usually a silver dollar. This Prestige Set from 1990, however, is more
prestigious than most, for it contains a prized 1990 No S proof cent.
The cent has great Red surfaces and bold contrast; the other coins
show minor peripheral toning and a few tiny milk spots. Housed in
the U.S. Mint holder of issue and comes with original box. (Total: 6
coins)
281 1939 PR67 Red PCGS. Bright golden-red color with no spotting
or other apparent distractions. A sharply struck Red Superb Gem
specimen that is tied for finest certified by NGC or PCGS (4/10).
(#3344)

TWO CENT PIECES
285 1864 Small Motto AU58 PCGS. CAC. FS-401. Luster glimmers
from chocolate-brown surfaces. Marks are essentially absent aside
from solitary vertical lines left of the C in CENTS and beneath
the left fletchings. A scarce and briefly issued design subtype.
(#3579)
MS65 Brown 1864 Small Motto Two Cent
286 1864 Small Motto MS65 Brown NGC. CAC. FS-401. The
elusive Small Motto variety of the 1864 two cent is most often
identified by the short or “squashed” letter D in GOD on the
obverse. While this Gem is described as “Brown,” one glance is
sufficient to take in the overt peach, orange, and rose overtones
that grace each side. Housed in a prior-generation holder. (#3579)
Important 1864 Small Motto Two Cent, MS65 Brown
287 1864 Small Motto MS65 Brown PCGS. FS-401. The first T in
TRUST grazes the ribbon fold nearby, and the leaf stem below is
bold. On the reverse, die cracks join many of the peripheral letters
and devices at their bottoms. This attractive medium-brown Gem
example has a smattering of light gold near the rims on each side.
This is a well struck piece with slight weakness only on the left¬
side center leaves, as often seen, but here stronger than on most
examples. Population: 13 in 65 Brown, 0 finer (4/10). (#3579)
Attractive 1864 Small Motto Two Cent
MS64 Red and Brown With Multiple Reverse Die Cracks
288 1864 Small Motto MS64 Red and Brown NGC. FS-401. Labeled
on the insert with the old designation, FS-000.5. A popular key
issue in the short two cent series, the 1864 Small Motto is many
times rarer than its Large Motto counterpart. This lovely near-Gem
piece has attractive almond-tan surfaces with few marks and lots of
Mint red remaining, but its appeal is enhanced enormously by the
interesting network of die cracks on the reverse, some of them quite
bold. A really neat coin, produced from a reverse die clearly on the
verge of failure. Census: 52 in 64 Red and Brown, 71 finer (4/10).
(#3580)
289 1864 Large Motto MS65 Red NGC. This denomination, which
lasted just one decade, saw its highest mintage in the first year of
issue, and many collectors seek such examples for type purposes.
This Gem displays vivid sunset-orange color in the centers with
a touch of crimson at the obverse periphery. A few tiny toning
freckles appear on the reverse.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 5/2007), lot 297, which realized
$1,437.50.(#3578)
Sharp 1864 Large Motto Two Cent, MS66 Red
290 1864 Large Motto MS66 Red NGC. The color is tan-gold and the
strike is bold, producing clear articulation on most of the obverse
details save for a couple of leaves on the upper right. The reverse,
while sharp overall, also reveals some weakness in the same relative
area, suggesting a slight die misalignment. A few scattered flecks
appear only under a loupe. This piece possesses great appeal overall
and would be a fine acquisition for a first-year type set. Census: 41
in 66 Red, 1 finer (4/10). (#3578)
291 1870 MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. A luminous near-Gem
example of this underrated two cent issue. Well struck with largely
violet-brown color but also muted copper-orange at the borders.

Charming Near-Gem Red 1870 Two Cent
292 1870 MS64 Red NGC. By 1870 the mintage of the two cent
business strikes had sunk below 1 million—to be exact, 861,250
coins—and would never again return to seven digits. This charming
near-Gem offers almond-tan coloration with lots of eye appeal,
despite the small patches of charcoal in the shield. A couple of
small abrasions account for the grade. Census: 11 in 64 Red, 8 finer
(4/10). (#3608)
293 1871 MS65 Brown PCGS. CAC. Lustrous brown surfaces show
tinges of original orange mint color on this attractive Gem. A
single dark spot is evident on the obverse in the upper right branch.
Population: 4 in 65 Brown, 0 finer (4/10). (#3609)
PROOF TWO CENT PIECES
Flashy PR66 Red Cameo 1865 Two Cent Piece
294 1865 PR66 Red Cameo NGC. Plain 5. From a proof mintage of
500 pieces. This is a beautiful Premium Gem proof, with brilliantly
mirrored fields and sharply struck devices. The surfaces display
bright, copper-gold color with virtually no distractions. A prize for
the type collector or two cent specialist. Census: 0 in 66 Cameo,
0 finer (4/10). Census: 1 in 66 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10). (#83629)
295 1868 PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. A sharply defined Gem proof,
this piece retains nearly all of its original orange and rose color
on both sides, with just enough brown toning to prevent a Red
designation. Both sides have a few tiny spots and contact marks
that limit the grade. Population: 40 in 65 Red and Brown, 6 finer
(4/10).(#3637)
Lovely 1868 Two Cent, PR66 Red and Brown
296 1868 PR66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. The obverse of this
lovely Premium Gem proof is decidedly more Red than Brown,
with fresh copper-orange color over most of that side. The upper
obverse has deep crimson-brown color, however, and while the
reverse peripheral zones are “Red,” the wreath area offers slight
variations on a pale green hue. Among the finest certified at PCGS
of the mere 600 proofs struck. Population: 5 in 66 Red and Brown,
1 finer (4/10). (#3637)
297 1871 PR66 Brown NGC. TRUST is die doubled, characteristic
of proofs of this better date. The deeply toned surfaces display
sea-green and golden-brown when rotated beneath a light. Well
struck and mark-free with only a few trivial flecks on the reverse.
(#3645)
298 1872 PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. Dusky orange-gold
is accompanied by splashes of sea-green. A sharply struck and
unabraded near-Gem. Proofs are in demand due to the scarcity of
Uncirculated 1872 business strikes.(#3649)
Lustrous 1872 Two Cent, PR66 Red and Brown
299 1872 PR66 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. The year 1872 was
the last in which business strike two cents were produced—but it
was a mere pittance of 65,000 coins, accompanied by an estimated
600 proofs. This Premium Gem proof displays only the slightest
mellowing of the orange luster and faint traces of blue toning in
the fields that prevent a full Red designation. A tiny carbon spot
appears under the U in TRUST. Business strike 1872 two cent
pieces are identified by a die crack at the lower left reverse, while
proofs lack that crack. Census: 35 in 66 Red and Brown, 4 finer
(4/10). (#3649)
300 1872 PR65 Red PCGS. Sharply struck with solid reflectivity in
the fields and carefully preserved surfaces. Lightly patinated with
considerable mahogany influences on dusky copper-orange surfaces.
Housed in a green label holder. (#3650)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 59
Sharply Struck 1873 Closed 3
Two Cent Piece, PR64 Brown
301 1873 Closed 3 PR64 Brown PCGS. The Closed 3 proof-only two
cent pieces are believed struck in the final year of the decade-long
series from 1864 to 1873, to the extent of 600 coins. The Open
3 twos are believed to be later restrikes. This Closed 3 near-Gem
Brown example actually shows lots of mint orange-red remaining,
alternating with plum throughout. The strike is nearly full, spots
are absent, and the only contact we see is a hair-thin mark to the
right of the date, well-hidden in the patina. A nice example of this
last-year issue. (#3651)
1873 Closed 3 Two Cent, PR64 Red and Brown
Low Mintage of 600 Pieces
302 1873 Closed 3 PR64 Red and Brown NGC. This older-holder
proof-only specimen is precisely struck and offers dusky tan-gold
and lime-green toning. Carbon is minimal, and the quality is
impressive for the grade. The Closed 3 variety is about twice as
available as its Open 3 counterpart, although both varieties are very
scarce. Census: 43 in 64 Red and Brown, 93 finer (4/10). (#3652)
THREE CENT SILVER
303 1851-0 MS64 PCGS. A pristine if slightly subdued near-Gem
draped in stone-gray, chestnut, and powder-blue shades. The sole
branch mint issue of the three cent silver series. (#3665)
304 1852 MS66 PCGS. An immensely lustrous Premium Gem three
cent silver with rich and distinct toning. The obverse has peach-
orange central toning with a touch of blue near the edges, while on
the reverse, the relationship is nearly reversed. Population: 83 in
66, 13 finer (4/10).(#3666)
1852 Three Cent Silver, MS67
An Impressive, Brilliant Type Two Issue
305 1852 MS67 NGC. The 1852 mintage of three cent silvers was
an all-time record at 18.6 million pieces, more than triple the
first-year 1851 total of 5.4 million and more than 50% larger than
the 1853 production of 11.4 million. Fortunately the trimes at this
point weighed 0.8 gm and were composed of 75% silver and 25%
copper, for a net silver content of 0.6 gm per coin. That weight was
increased in 1854 to 0.75 gm of 90% silver, or 0.675 gm per coin, a
net silver content proportional to the half dimes and other larger
silver coins of the era.
This piece is frosty, untoned silver-white, with tremendous eye
appeal and faint evidence of die clashing on each side. The obverse
die shows erosion, with some peripheral lettering and stars “drawn
to the edge,” more characteristic of Bust halves of an earlier era.
Census: 13 in 67, 0 finer (4/10). (#3666)
306 1853 MS66 PCGS. CAC. In the latest (2009) edition of
Cherrypickers’, the authors state that the 1852 FS-801 “is the only
doubled die we have listed in the silver three-cent piece series.” But
the present piece also has a doubled die reverse, visible on the left¬
side star points. The fortunate next owner will likely take greater
notice of the immaculate and lustrous surfaces that are lightly
toned caramel-gold. The shield is well struck. Population: 47 in 66,
5 finer (4/10).(#3667)
307 1862/1 MS66 NGC. FS-301. Easily the most prominent overdate
in the three cent silver series, though the 1862/1 does not command
a significant premium over its “Normal Date” counterpart except in
Mint State grades. Gold to orange partial toning is more prominent
on the reverse. Census: 61 in 66, 11 finer (4/10) .(#3681)
PROOF THREE CENT SILVER
308 1858 PR63 PCGS. This sharply struck specimen displays deep
gunmetal-gray, walnut-tan, and cobalt-blue toning. The Guide
Book reports just 300+ proofs were struck for this scarce Type Two
date. (#3 705)
Choice Proof 1858 Three Cent Silver
309 1858 PR64 PCGS. A scarce early proof coin with dusky chestnut-
gray and silver-blue toning over reflective fields. The surfaces are
undisturbed and unmarked. Fully struck, as expected for a proof.
Population: 34 in 64, 30 finer (4/10).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 5583, which realized
$3,450. (#3705)

Tantalizing PR65 1858 Three Cent Silver
310 1858 PR65 PCGS. CAC. A remarkable Gem specimen of this
first proof three cent silver issue to see wide distribution, richly
toned in gold, green, blue, and violet shades. Both sides offer
attractive reflectivity. Extensive straight die polish lines on the
obverse should not be mistaken for hairlines. Population: 21 in 65,
9 finer (4/10). (#3705)
Historic Gem Proof 1858 Three Cent Silver
311 1858 PR65 NGC. One year after the discontinuation of the
large cent and half cent, which created the first numismatic craze
in America, the U.S. Mint under Director James Ross Snowden
began publicly advertising proof coinage for sale to collectors, and
in the same year the American Numismatic Society was founded.
This three cent silver proof is a Gem survivor from those first
historic mintages. The obverse is silver-gray with iridescent bits
near the rim, while pinkish-gold and lilac pervade the reverse.
The right corner of the third I in the denomination joins the
knob and leaf tip, one of the proof diagnostics listed in Breen
along with the downward-slanting parallel striae noted on the
obverse. The doubled outer border around the star on the obverse
is incomplete at the lower left, as struck. Census: 23 in 65, 24 finer
(4/10). (#3705)
312 1860 PR64 PCGS. Green-to-gold outer toning yields to rich blue
and violet on both sides of this near-Gem specimen, with a small
silver center still visible on the reverse. Strongly reflective with
minor, scattered hairlines. Population: 37 in 64, 6 finer (4/10).
(#3709)
313 1871 PR66 NGC. Green-gold and blue hues flicker across the
well-preserved surfaces of this Premium Gem. Sharply struck and
attractive with watery mirrors. Census: 21 in 66, 10 finer (4/10).
(#3722)
314 1872 PR64 Cameo NGC. Beautifully mirrored away from well-
frosted devices. Toning ranges from rich violet and caramel at the
borders to pale gray at the centers. Great all-around eye appeal.
Census: 5 in 64 Cameo, 9 finer (4/10).(#83723)
1873 Three Cent Silver, PR66
Final Year of Issue
315 1873 PR66 PCGS. CAC. This proof-only date closed out the
silver three cent series with a small emission of 600 pieces. The date
can be found through PR64, but Gem coins are scarce. This elusive
PR66 specimen displays a medley of cobalt-blue, lavender, and
gold-orange patina along with crisply delineated design elements. A
nicely cared-for example with outstanding eye appeal. Population:
10 in 66, 3 finer (4/10). (#3724)
THREE CENT NICKELS
316 1868 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Light to medium autumn-gold toning
equally embraces both sides. A fully struck, highly lustrous, and
nearly immaculate representative of this collectible Reconstruction-
era issue. Coined from prominently clashed dies. Population: 28 in
66, 1 finer (4/10).(#3734)
317 1876 MS65 NGC. CAC. This Centennial-year Gem is attractively
toned in lime-green and rose-red. Well struck and lustrous with
exemplary preservation. Certified in an early pre-hologram NGC
holder. Census: 15 in 65, 4 finer (4/10).(#3744)
318 1881 MS66 PCGS. An immaculate, highly lustrous, and virtually
brilliant Premium Gem. An outstanding example of this available
later issue. The 1881 has a mintage of more than 1 million pieces,
and is the only post-1876 business strike with a production
greater than 38,000 pieces. Population: 42 in 66, 7 finer (4/10).
(#3749)
PROOF THREE CENT NICKELS
319 1866 PR65 NGC. A richly toned but still-reflective Gem
specimen of this second-year proof issue. Deep blue, gold, and
green-gray shadings embrace each side. Census: 55 in 65, 19 finer
(4/10).(#3762)
Delightful PR66 Cameo 1866 Three Cent Nickel
320 1866 PR66 Cameo NGC. CAC. Outstanding contrast on both
sides, with the obverse bordering on Ultra Cameo thanks to
intensely frosted devices and bold mirrors. Light suggestions of
golden color visit the obverse and the central reverse. Carefully
preserved and undeniably appealing. Census: 13 in 66 Cameo, 1
finer (4/10). (#83762)

Appealing 1866 Three Cent Nickel, PR66 Cameo
Fully Struck Gem Proof 1877 Three Cent Nickel
327
1876 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. This is a gleaming ice-white
three cent nickel that actually appears to be a silver coin, although
it obviously is not. Incredibly deep cameo contrast between fields
and devices is the obvious hallmark, although the pristine surfaces
contribute greatly to that effect. NGC has certified nine examples
in this grade, and one Ultra Cameo finer (5/10). (#93772)
331
1884 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. If a collector wants a business
strike 1884 three cent nickel, they can pretty much forget it. Only
1700 were struck. Proofs, on the other hand, are occasionally
available with a mintage of 3942 pieces, but few are known as fine
as this coin. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and the fields
show exceptional depth of mirrored reflectivity which sets up stark
contrast against the heavily frosted devices. Problem-free surfaces.
Census: 1 in 66 Ultra Cameo, 2 finer (4/10). (#93780)
323 1867 PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Light honey toning enriches
this prominently mirrored Premium Gem. Cameo frost is thick
throughout the portrait and wreath. The center of the first column
of the denomination shows minor softness of strike. Population: 19
in 66 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).(#83763)
Dazzling PR66 Ultra Cameo 1884 Three Cent Nickel
321 1866 PR66 Cameo NGC. One of only 725 proof pieces coined, to
accompany the stingy business-strike mintage of 22,000 pieces. The
nickel-gray surfaces provide glints of gold at the right angle, and
considerable field-device contrast further increases the appeal, fully
meriting the Cameo designation. One of the 13 finest certified at
NGC with Cameo surfaces, save for a single example graded higher
(4/10). (#83762)
322 1867 PR65 Cameo NGC. Impressively contrasted with nearly
uniform frost over the central devices. Strong mirrors are pleasingly
preserved on this delightful Cameo Gem. Census: 34 in 65 Cameo,
42 finer (4/10).(#83763)
328 1877 PR65 NGC. A proof-only issue of a tiny estimated 510
pieces, the 1877 three cent nickel is the undisputed key to a
complete set. This Gem example boasts mellow copper-gold color
with considerable undesignated field-device contrast. A trivial dark
fleck or two appear under a loupe, and the strike is full throughout.
Census: 92 in 65, 66 finer (4/10). (#3773)
Prized 1877 Three Cent Nickel
PR66, Only Three Finer at PCGS
324 1867 PR66 Cameo NGC. Excellent field-device contrast enhances
nickel-white surfaces. A tiny lint mark appears near the obverse rim
at 1 o’clock. Strong overall definition and top-flight eye appeal.
Census: 39 in 66 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10).(#83763)
325 1867 PR66 Cameo NGC. Impressive reflectivity with considerable
frost on the portrait and wreath. Minimally toned, radiant, and
devoid of any detractions. Only 625 proofs were struck. Census: 39
in 66 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10).(#83763)
326 1873 Closed 3 PR66 PCGS. CAC. Almond-gold and ice-blue
endow this satiny and beautifully preserved Premium Gem. The
centers show only a hint of incompleteness of strike. Population: 12
in 66,0 finer (4/10).(#3769)
Gleaming 1876 Three Cent Nickel
PR66 Ultra Cameo
329 1877 PR66 PCGS. Certified in a green-label holder, this proof-
only 1877 three cent nickel is nearly the finest obtainable PCGS-
certified example—save for a mere three specimens—from the
original mintage estimated at 510 coins. This key-date example
has toned in delightful shades of pastel pinkish-gold in the centers,
complementing faint hazel-gray at the rims. Fully struck and
thoroughly appealing, a prize for the Registry Set or type specialists.
(#3773)
330 1878 PR67 Cameo PCGS. This splendid Superb Gem has a flashy
reverse and a satiny obverse. Light olive-gray toning confirms the
originality. Boldly struck and essentially pristine. Population: 9 in
67 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).(#83774)

1887/6 Three Cent Nickel, PR67
Always-Popular Overdated Proof Issue
332 1887/6 PR67 NGC. FS-302. Remnants of the underlying 6 are
visible on the lower left side of the 7 and both 8s are repunched.
Soft golden-gray and light blue patina covers the obverse while
slightly deeper bluish-gray dominates the reverse. The impeccably
preserved surfaces complement fully struck design elements. Census:
4 in 67, 0 finer (4/10). (#3784)
SHIELD NICKELS
333 1866 Rays Repunched Date MS61 PCGS. Fletcher-15. An early
die state with repunching especially noteworthy on the first 6 in the
date. This Fletcher variety is currently unlisted in Cherry pickers,
and is not the Guide Book variety. A satiny and unabraded cream-
gray example with minor incompleteness of strike that shows the
striated planchet surface in some areas. (#3 790)
Well Struck, Lightly Toned 1866 Shield Nickel, MS66
334 1866 Rays MS66 NGC. Undoubtedly saved as the first year of
issue, this is an especially well-preserved example and would make
a wonderful type coin. Two aspects would be especially appealing
to the type collector: The mint luster is soft and frosted, and the
striking definition is almost complete. The lustrous surfaces have
taken on a subtle hint of rose and lilac on each side. The strike on
1866 nickels is notoriously weak, and this piece only shows spotty
softness with the all-important rays well defined. Census: 25 in 66,
0 finer (4/10). (#3790)
1866/1866 Shield Nickel, Rays, MS64
First Year of Denomination
335 1866/1866 Rays Repunched Date MS64 PCGS. FS-301.
Formerly housed in an NGC holder as 1866/1866 MS65, VP-002,
FS-301. The year 1866 saw the first cupro-nickel five cent coins,
and this impressive example is one of the finest specimens extant
with a repunched date. Striking details are sharp, and the brilliant
surfaces display ample satiny luster. PCGS has graded only three
other examples of this variety in MS64, with none finer (4/10).
Mentioned on page 125 of the 2010 Guide Book. (#93790)
336 1867 No Rays MS66 PCGS. Almond-gold and ice-blue grace this
satiny and undisturbed Premium Gem. Conditionally scarce, with
none graded finer at either major service. Housed in a green label
holder. Population: 11 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).(#3794)
337 1871 MS64 PCGS. CAC. An uncommonly strong strike on the
obverse is echoed in the well-defined stars on the reverse. Gold-
orange toning crosses all but the left side of the shield and the
adjacent field. Population: 30 in 64, 36 finer (4/10).(#3798)

Extremely Rare Business Strike
1880 Shield Nickel, MS65
338 1880 MS65 NGC. In 1872 Germany switched to a gold
standard, over the next few years dumping millions of ounces
of silver on the world markets. The years 1876 through 1878
were the peak production years for the fabled Comstock Lode
in Nevada, with about $36 million/year worth of silver added to
the world supply. These factors and others combined to depress
the prices of silver to historic lows, as well as to ensure that
silver coins (minted after 1853) were worth far more unmelted
than as bullion. On April 20, 1876, the Treasury began releasing
a long-stored horde of silver coins. If one examines the mintage
figures for most minor coinage denominations, both silver and
otherwise, one notes a gradual decrease beginning around 1876-
78 and lasting until about 1890, with a few exceptions.
In the case of the Shield nickel, the 1877 and 1878 are the
well-known proof-only issues—both of which, by virtue of the
lack of business strikes, became instant rarities. Both the 1879 and
1880 Shield nickels were produced in small numbers, apparently
to prevent a repeat. The 1879 business strikes were produced to
the extent of 25,900 coins, but proofs are readily available, which
keeps the prices somewhat depressed for Mint State examples.
The 1880 Shield nickel is by a wide margin the key to
business strike Shield nickels, with its mingy production of
only 16,000 coins. That production was accomplished through
the use of proof dies, so the population data for both types of
coins are somewhat unreliable. Bowers’ Guide Book of Shield and
Liberty Nickels introduces several diagnostics of true business
strikes, including:
• a small thornlike projection from the reverse rim
between the TS of CENTS;
• repunched outside top loop of the first S in STATES;
and
• a tiny raised “island” in the field below the last T in
STATES.
Those diagnostics are clearly visible on the reverse of this Gem,
and Bowers says they are associated with an obverse that shows
the second 8 with repunching, also clearly visible here with a
loupe. The surfaces are somewhat satiny, not mirrored, and the
laurel leaves, while well-struck, lack some of the venation that
a proof would be expected to show.
In sum, this Gem coin appears to be one of the very rare,
unquestioned business strikes, and it is one of three so certified
at NGC, with one finer (4/10). The surfaces are golden-gray
with a touch of charcoal on the obverse rim from 3 to 5 o’clock.
A small planchet flaw appears on the lower reverse near the
U(NITED). (#3810)

339 1881 MS65 PCGS. This low mintage Shield nickel has light
golden-gray toning and vibrant cartwheel sheen. Well struck and
mark-free with a mere hint of granularity on the reverse. Encased
in a green label holder. Population: 32 in 65, 18 finer (4/10).
(#3811)
340 1883/2 MS63 PCGS. FS-303. Traces of the base and center of an
underdigit 2 are evident left of the 3. Walnut-brown and olive-gray
blend throughout this satiny and sharply struck representative.
Cherrypickers’ lists five different 1883/2 overdate varieties, each
of which is very scarce. Population: 19 in 63, 21 finer (4/10).
(#3814)
Near-Gem 1883/2 Nickel, FS-302
341 1883/2 MS64 PCGS. FS-302. Remnants of an underdigit 2 are
readily observed near the left border of the 3. A series of obverse
die cracks confirms the attribution. The second most prominent
variety of the very scarce 1883/2 overdate. This is a lustrous and
fully struck near-Gem that has occasional traces of mildly granular
charcoal-gray patina. Population: 14 in 64, 7 finer (4/10). (#3814)
PROOF SHIELD NICKELS
Delightful 1866 Rays Nickel, PR66 Cameo
342 1866 Rays PR66 Cameo PCGS. The popular first-year Shield
nickel proof issue, offered here with undeniable contrast and careful
preservation. Gleaming fields toned green-gold let frosted nickel-
white devices stand out. Tiny contact marks in the stripes of the
shield show up only at certain angles. PCGS has certified a mere
three finer Cameo coins (4/10). (#83817)
Impressive 1866 With Rays Nickel, PR66 Cameo
343 1866 Rays PR66 Cameo PCGS. Here is one of the finest 1866
With Rays Shield nickels available to collectors, with deeply
mirrored fields, lustrous devices, and excellent cameo contrast. Few
finer examples have ever been certified, and Deep Cameo proofs
are extremely rare, with only two such pieces certified by PCGS.
Population: 28 in 66 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10). (#83817)
344 1873 Closed 3 PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The 1 in the date is
nicely repunched. A sharply struck and unabraded Premium Gem.
Lightly toned in caramel-gold shades that deepen near the rims.
Population: 15 in 66 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).(#83827)
345 1874 PR66 PCGS. CAC. The 4 in the date is lightly repunched.
Boldly detailed save for one of the stars. Satiny and nearly untoned.
Only a few inconsequential carbon flecks from Superb quality. Encased
in a green label holder. Population: 35 in 66, 7 finer (4/10).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2005), lot 1599, which realized
$1,610. (#3828)
Lovely Gem 1877 Shield Nickel
346 1877 PR65 NGC. The 1877 is one of the series’ proof-only issues
along with the 1878, but the 1877 was produced in much smaller
numbers, estimated at 500 coins according to the Guide Book. This
is a lovely Gem striking with considerable unnoted field-device
contrast on the golden-gray surfaces, which are free of distractions
and quite appealing. (#3831)
1878 Shield Nickel, PR66 Cameo
Low Mintage, Proof-Only Issue
347 1878 PR66 Cameo PCGS. The main draw for the 1878 Shield
nickel is its limited availability of only 2,350 pieces, all of which
were proofs. Their quality is variable, however, and in the past
some have even been listed as business strikes. This is one of the
better-produced examples, and it exhibits bright, sparkling fields on
each side. The devices display mint frost that is sufficient to give
the piece a pronounced cameo effect. Both obverse and reverse
are coated in a light layer of reddish-golden patina, but the cameo
contrast is evident through the light toning. Population: 17 in 66
Cameo, 3 finer (4/10). (#83832)
348 1879 PR66 NGC. This important proof is from the dies without
the spike on the ball over the date, considered a Normal Date
variety. This die combination is infrequently seen, compared to
the Spiked Ball variety. Both sides have bold design features, light
champagne toning, and fully mirrored fields.(#3833)
349 1879 PR66 NGC. The so-called 1879/8 proof overdate with a
small spike on the ball over the date, this piece is sharply defined
with excellent eye appeal. Both sides have satiny light gray surfaces
without mirrored fields. (#3 833)
350 1879 PR67 PCGS. CAC. Rich orange and peach toning covers
most of this Superb Gem, though flickers of sage are also present.
Smooth and pleasingly preserved with a sharp strike, and housed in
a green label holder. (#3 833)
351 1882 PR67 Cameo NGC. This lightly toned and precisely struck
Superb Gem demonstrates perceptible contrast between the frosted
devices and the reflective fields. Abrasions are absent, and the
eye appeal is attractive. Census: 24 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).

LIBERTY NICKELS
Sumptuous 1884 Liberty Nickel, MS66
352 1884 MS66 NGC. CAC. Given the second-year mintage
exceeding 11.2 million pieces, examples of the 1884 Liberty nickel
are generally available, but most are at the Gem level or below.
This is a wonderful Premium Gem example, with satiny, lustrous
original silver-gray surfaces that display just an indefinable hint of
color. Both the obverse and reverse dies were in advanced states of
deterioration when this sumptuous coin was produced, as evidenced
by the numerous die cracks encircling the peripheries. Census: 15
in 66, 1 finer (4/10). (#3845)
353 1885 VF30 NGC. The 1885 mintage was low, and relatively
few pieces were set aside in Victorian-era America. Examples
are certified by NGC and PCGS in grades as low as Poor 1. The
present piece is vastly nicer, since most of the star radials are clear.
Cream-gray overall with occasional mild granularity near the rims.
(#3846)
354 1885 AU50 PCGS. Pink-gray surfaces have distinct peach
overtones on this lightly circulated key-date Liberty nickel. Better-
defined than usually seen, particularly on the stars and the lower
wreath. (#3846)
355 1885 AU50 NGC. CAC. A steel gray example with noticeable
satin shimmer despite moderate wear on Liberty’s forehead curls.
Mild granularity is mostly limited to the rim near the CE in
CENTS. (#3 846)
356 1885 AU55 PCGS. Luster rolls across the cream-gray and caramel-
gold surfaces. The cheekbone shows light wear. Smooth save for
minor marks near the base of the V. The key date of the business
strike series. (#3846)
357 1885 AU55 PCGS. Generous luster swirls in the fields of this gold-
tinged nickel-gray example, well-defined at the central obverse but
with more typical softness at the margins. Modestly worn with only
wispy marks. (#3 846)
358 1886 AU58 NGC. Nickel-white at the base with scattered spots of
blue-green and charcoal color. Only a touch of rub visits the high
points, though the lower reverse has a characteristically soft strike.
(#3847)
359 1888 MS65 PCGS Secure. CAC. The date is lightly repunched.
Delicate walnut-brown toning visits this unmarked and pleasing
lower mintage Gem. The strike is sharp aside from the left ear of
corn. Population: 43 in 65, 11 finer (4/10).(#3849)
360 1892 MS66 PCGS. CAC. An absolutely gorgeous example of
the conditionally rare 1892 nickel, this piece has pale champagne
toning over brilliant and lustrous nickel-gray surfaces. Population:
15 in 66,0 finer (4/10).(#3853)
361 1894 MS65 NGC. CAC. Bold peach, pink, and violet toning
is present on both sides of this satiny Gem. The reverse adds
considerable blue and green-gold elements to the palette. Census:
58 in 65, 20 finer (4/10).(#3855)
Splendid 1900 Liberty Nickel, MS67
362 1900 MS67 NGC. CAC. Splendid luster and eye appeal are
created by the light-olive and ice-blue patina, with a bold strike
(nearly full save for that pesky lower left ear of corn) and complete
absence of visible abrasions. The hair details, in particularly, are
remarkably sharp. One of the finest certified at either service.
Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (4/10). (#3861)
363 1905 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Boldly lustrous through rich violet,
orange, and nickel-gray toning. The strike is characteristically soft
on the obverse stars and the lower reverse. Population: 67 in 66, 0
finer (4/10).(#3866)
364 1909 MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1909 is the lowest-mintage
Philadelphia Liberty nickel of the 20th century, though it is plentiful
in grades below the MS66 level. This Premium Gem is strongly
lustrous with lavender and gold shadings over most of each side. A
single mark is noted over the V on the reverse. Population: 22 in 66,
0 finer (4/10).(#3870)
365 1912-D MS63 AN ACS. Rich peach, rose, and violet-gray toning
embraces most of this Select example. Soft peripheral detail is
typical for this first-year Denver nickel issue.(#3874)
366 1912-S MS63 PCGS. The low mintage 1912-S is one of only
two branch mint issues in the 30-year run of the Liberty nickel.
This coruscating representative is minimally abraded, but a minor
retained lamination (as made) passes through star l.(#3875)
Lovely MS64 1912-S Nickel
367 1912-S MS64 PCGS. The first branch mint nickels were struck in
1912, and the Denver and San Francisco issues of that year stand as
the only non-Philadelphia dates for the Liberty design. This near-
Gem example of the S-mint issue is better-defined than most with
soft luster beneath nickel-gray, gold, orange, and violet shadings.
(#3875)
Delicately Toned 1912-S Liberty Nickel, MS65
368 1912-S MS65 PCGS. The Gem level is “about as good as it gets”
for the 1912-S Liberty nickel, unless you are an owner of one of the
eight (or less) examples certified at the MS66 level by PCGS. The
issue is always strike-challenged, with softness appearing—minor on
this example—on the waves of Liberty’s hair just below LIBERTY
and on the lower-left wreath. The delicate olive and jade patina
adds to the considerable appeal, but minor marks on the chin and
neck preclude an even finer grade. Population: 95 in 65, 8 finer
(4/10). (#3875)

the mirrored fields. Census: 29 in 66 Cameo, 18 finer (4/10).
(#83882)
Brilliant PR68 1885 Liberty Nickel
Tied for Finest Certified
370 1885 PR68 NGC. This piece’s business strike counterpart is
far and away the key to the Liberty nickel series, creating added
collector demand for the proof issue. This proof offers many
aesthetic advantages, and a technical one as well: It has a higher
numeric grade than any of the business strikes certified at either
service, which include two MS67 coins at PCGS and one MS67
at NGC. This piece is tied with two other PR68 coins as the finest
certified at NGC (4/10). The surfaces appear perfect, displaying
pale lilac and golden color with much underlying mint brilliance.
One minor lint mark appears in the center reverse. A tremendous
addition to a fine Liberty nickel collection. (#3883)
371 1885 PR66 Cameo NGC. CAC. The 1885 is among the more
popular Liberty nickel proof issues, thanks to its association with
the challenging business strike of the same date. This impressively
contrasted specimen has a practically black-and-white appearance
with powerful mirrors. Census: 28 in 66 Cameo, 16 finer (4/10).
(#83883)
372 1892 PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. Inspection of NGC/PCGS population
figures indicates that 1892 proof nickels are readily available, even
in the better levels of preservation. Cameos, on the other hand, are
more difficult to locate, and Cameos with NGC’s Star are elusive.
Indeed, a mere three Cameos are given the Star designation, the
present Superb Gem coin tied with one other for the finest. The
design elements are exquisitely brought up and stand out against
the mirrored fields. Untoned surfaces are impeccably preserved.
(#83890)
373 1893 PR66 Cameo NGC. CAC. A stunning Premium Gem
Cameo proof, this 1893 Liberty nickel has brilliant light gray
surfaces with splendid detail and attractive iridescent toning.
Census: 24 in 66 Cameo, 10 finer (4/10).(#83891)
Stunning PR67 ★ Cameo 1894 Nickel
374 1894 PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. A fantastic Superb Gem specimen
with subtle suggestions of gold against gleaming nickel-white
surfaces. While the frost over the sharply struck devices is delicate,
the level of contrast is outstanding. This incredibly appealing coin
is tied for numerically finest among Cameo coins in the combined
certified population (4/10). (#83892)
375 1903 PR66 PCGS. CAC. This lightly toned Premium Gem proof
has sharp details with noticeable cameo contrast, despite the lack of
that designation. The obverse is mostly pale gold with hints of blue
and violet, while the reverse has generous portions of all three hues.
Population: 63 in 66, 20 finer (4/10).(#3901)
376 1911 PR67 ★ NGC. Carefully preserved and stunningly toned
with green-gold peripheral toning giving way to blue and finally
violet-rose in the center. Sharply struck and incredibly appealing.
NGC has graded only two numerically finer examples (4/10).

BUFFALO NICKELS FROM THE
BRENDA JOHN COLLECTION
Magnificent MS68 1913
Type One Buffalo Nickel
377 1913 Type One MS68 PCGS. This amazing MS68 survivor is one
of just 12 pieces so certified by PCGS (4/10), making it an ideal
starter for the ultimate Registry Set or a fine addition to a top-flight
type collection. The centers on each side are largely nickel-blue
to white, while the borders, particularly on the left, show more
distinct toning that ranges from gold to tan. The devices are boldly
impressed with rugged detail on high and low design elements
alike. Finally, the quality is absolutely incredible; the unaided eye
will find it a challenge to identify a single abrasion or other flaw.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3915)
Popular 1913-D Type One Nickel, MS67
378 1913-D Type One MS67 PCGS. The frosty mint luster on this

both sides. The strike is bold and virtually complete with only a
hint of peripheral weakness. A popular Denver Mint issue that will
appeal to branch Mint type collectors as well as Buffalo specialists.
Population: 46 in 67, 2 finer (4/10).

its Type Two counterpart, the 1913-S Type One also has a low
mintage of just over 2.1 million pieces. A number were saved in
Uncirculated grades due to the change in design, but few of those
aspire to the Superb Gem level. Lustrous and immaculate with
medium golden toning. Population: 16 in 67, 1 finer (4/10).

Wonderful 1913 Type Two Nickel, MS67
380 1913 Type Two MS67 NGC. Clean, problem-free surfaces are a
given on most any coin that is graded MS67. What sets this piece
apart is the remarkable, thick mint frost that rolls around each side
as it is rotated beneath a light. Perhaps someone will see a faint
glimmer of color, but we see this piece as brilliant. Fully struck on
the reverse with slight softness on the Indian’s hair on the obverse.
A wonderful first-year type coin. Census: 12 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

Bold 1913-D Type Two Nickel, MS67
381 1913-D Type Two MS67 NGC. Almost unbelievably well-struck,
this Superb Gem has brilliant light gray surfaces with frosty mint
luster. The usual example has a strike that ranges from typical to
sharp, according to Dave Bowers in A Guide Book of Buffalo and
Jefferson Nickels. The present piece easily qualifies as a sharp strike,
and just misses full strike status. It is probably in the top 20% of all
1913-D Type Two nickels. Census: 7 in 67, 1 finer (4/10).

Stunning MS67 1913-S Type Two Nickel
382 1913-S Type Two MS67 NGC. The Buffalo nickel marked a
radical departure from its staid Liberty nickel predecessor. But a
design flaw was noticed in the first year of production. The mound
and the words FIVE CENTS showed the first signs of wear. Charles
Barber, noted for designing coins suited for high-speed production,
redesigned the lower reverse by making a straight line below the
bison which protected the denomination from wear. This redesign
was done later in the year, after 38 million coins had been struck at
the three mints.
The 1913-S Type Two is the key to the six 1913 Buffalo nickel
issues with only 1.2 million pieces minted. It is predictably rare in
high grades, with only eight MS67 coins in the combined certified
population and none numerically finer (4/10). The mint luster on
this piece is frosted, as one would expect, and undisturbed by any
noticeable marks. Each side shows just a hint of pale olive and lilac
toning. An exceptional Type Two 1913-S nickel.

Amazing 1914 Nickel MS67 ★
383 1914 MS67 ★ NGC. CAC. This lustrous Superb Gem is bathed
in sun-gold and lime toning. The strike is unusually crisp, even on
the hair above the braid. The LU in PLURIBUS is legibly clashed
beneath the Indian’s chin. Out of nine MS67 pieces known to
NGC (with none finer), this is the only one to receive the Star
designation (4/10).

described as rare. This essentially pristine Premium Gem exhibits
dusky apple-green and lilac toning. The date and mintmark are

centers. Population: 38 in 66, 5 finer (4/10).

Outstanding 1914-S Nickel, MS67
385 1914-S MS67 NGC. With a mintage approaching 3.5 million
coins, the 1914-S Buffalo nickel is hardly a scarce or rare date,
but truly pleasing Choice or Gem Mint State examples are
extremely difficult to locate. The example that we present for
your bidding consideration is an outstanding piece that will
please the finest collector.
Quicksilver appearance exhibits ice-blue and gold surfaces
on the obverse, with the reverse adding tinges of lavender.
Remarkably prooflike, especially for an issue that is often found
with frosty luster. Die erosion produces some frosty areas near
the reverse rim. Fully struck, and appearing much more like a
P-mint than an S-mint. The combination of reflective surfaces
and sharp details is unusual, as Dave Lange describes in The
Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels: “Both mushy and well struck
pieces are common; the former are often semi-prooflike.”
The finest NGC certified 1914-S nickels include two
certified MS67, one certified MS67 ★, and one certified MS68
(4/10). PCGS has never certified a T4-S finer than MS66. A
review of our auction archives reveals that we sold the single
MS68 piece back in 1997, and we sold an MS67 ★ example
in 2008. Other than those two sales, we have previously never
offered an example finer than MS66. Here is an amazing
opportunity for the advanced Buffalo nickel specialist, or for
the connoisseur who appreciates exceptional beauty.

Sharp Near-Gem 1914/3-S Nickel
386 1914/3-S MS64 NGC. FS-101. In his The Complete Guide to
Buffalo Nickels, David Lange writes that Tom DeLorey turned up the
first example of this variety a year or so after the Philadelphia Mint
overdate was found (1996). Lange indicates that: “While the P-Mint
coins are difficult to identify, the S-Mint edition is extremely so. The
horizontal top of numeral 3 is just barely evident on even the sharpest,
early-die-state specimens. ... One feature that seems to be present
on each 1914/3-S seen thus far is a die crack on its reverse.”
The near-Gem specimen presented here displays the very faint
straight top bar of the underlying 3 at the top of the 4, and the
equally faint start of the 3’s diagonal on the upper right outside of
the 4. On the reverse, a prominent die crack connects the bison’s
forehead to the rim, and a faint crack runs along the upper edge of
the exergue into which the value FIVE CENTS is placed. These
cracks occur on confirmed examples of this overdate variety.
This example exhibits lustrous surfaces bathed in pastel
powder-blue, gold, and lavender patina. The design features are
well impressed, and include a bold date and mintmark, a strong
LIBERTY, and a sharp horn and tail. Most of the hair on the bison’s
head shows clearly, as do most of the Indian’s feathers and the braid.
Neither side reveals significant contact marks or unsightly spots.

Flawless Superb Gem 1915 Buffalo Nickel
387 1915 MS67 PCGS. A flawless Superb Gem whose lustrous and
precisely struck surfaces display caramel-gold, rose-red, and ice-blue
patina. No carbon or contact is readily evident. Rolls of the 1915
were set aside by forward-thinking numismatists such as Wayte
Raymond, but the date is unquestionably rare with MS67 quality.

Colorful Premium Gem 1915-D Nickel
388 1915-D MS66 NGC. The eye appeal is undeniable, since each
side displays dominant antique-gold patina with blushes of salmon-
pink iridescence. Although the 1915-D as an issue is the first poorly
struck Buffalo nickel from the Denver Mint (per Lange, 2000), the
present example is sharply detailed throughout. The surfaces are
problem-free save for some scattered flyspecks, most of which are
seen on the obverse, and none of which are individually distracting.
The 1915-D (7.5 million pieces produced), while somewhat scarce
in lower grades, should only really be considered rare at or above
the Gem threshold. Certified in a prior generation holder. Census:
11 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).

Desirable 1915-S Nickel, MS66
389 1915-S MS66 PCGS. Champagne-gold patination dominates
the obverse, restricting whispers of lavender and powder-blue to
portions of the borders. The reverse displays pastel powder-blue,
straw-gold, and olive-green. Poorly struck examples are the norm
for this issue, making the current example an important exception.
The design features are generally well brought up, including
boldness on the date, the braid, the hair on the bison’s head, and
the reverse legends, motto, and mintmark. Only the curve of the
tail and the hair above the braid are incomplete. The satiny surfaces
are impeccably preserved. Population: 27 in 66, 3 finer (4/10).

1916 Doubled Die Obverse Buffalo Nickel, MS64
A Fabulous Example and Tied for Finest Certified
72 To view full descriptions, enlargeable images and bid online, visit HA.com/1140
391 1916 Doubled Die Obverse MS64 NGC. FS-101. Although some regular 1916 Buffalo
nickels are known to show strike doubling on the date, they are easily distinguished from
the unusual Doubled Die coins, which show prominent but incomplete (at the bottom)
digits from a first strike of a working hub, well southeast of the subsequent strike. Other
obverse features are doubled—the chin, throat, and lips. The feathers at the back of the
head are plainly doubled at their bottoms, including the tiny partial feather closest to the
neck. The butterfly-shaped attachment of the feather quills to the hair is plainly doubled on
both sides. Traces of doubling are visible as well along the forward edge of the profile.
In a March 15, 2005, Numismatic News column, Paul M. Green described the 1916
Doubled Die nickel “as perhaps the greatest and least known rarity of the 20th century.
It is ironic, because the logical assumption would be that any coin of the 20th century
is well known and appreciated.” Knowledge of the variety became widespread
only in 1976; even today, many otherwise knowledgeable numismatists fail to
realize how rare the issue is—in all grades, but particularly in Mint State.
The finest certified are a number of near-Gems at both services, including two MS64 PCGS
pieces that we have handled in the last few years. (PCGS has certified only those two pieces
in MS64.) The 1916 Doubled Die invites a comparison with another popular Buffalo nickel
variety, the 1918/7-D. NGC has certified three Gems of the 1918/7-D Buffalo, and 22 examples
of that variety in MS64. Even if one deletes one-third of those coins as duplicates, it still leaves
almost four times as many 1918/7-D Buffalos at the near-Gem level compared to the 1916
Doubled Die.
The obverse of this impressively lustrous near-Gem has gold-orange peripheral toning
that yields to light nickel-gray in the centers. The reverse is more richly patinated in stark
blue and green-gold hues. Both sides show a slight degree of central striking softness, but
the crucial date area is crisp with strong impressions from both date hubs. Wispy abrasions
on the major devices and in the fields account for the technical grade, though the eye
appeal is more evocative of an even finer designation. Census: 6 in 64, 0 finer (4/10).

1916-D Buffalo Nickel, MS66
Attractively Toned and One of the Finest Known
392 1916-D MS66 PCGS. While David Lange’s The Complete Guide
to Buffalo Nickels describes this issue as “not particularly scarce”
through the Choice level, he considers Gems “rare.” The attractive
example offered here is distinctly finer than that classification.
Lange’s commentary on the 1916-D lists it as an issue for which
a trade-off between luster and strike exists, and while this piece
has attractive, frosty texture, the strike is above-average for such a
coin. Warm gold and pink patina graces the exquisitely preserved
surfaces. Aside from two tiny marks and a lone fleck below the
bison’s head, this piece gives the appearance of an even higher
grade. Tied for the finest certified by NGC or PCGS, with just four
graded by the former and 11 by the latter (4/10).

Amazingly Toned and Lustrous 1916-S Nickel, MS66
393 1916-S MS66 NGC. The 1916-S is another early Buffalo nickel
that has low availability in high grades. This in spite of the fact that
11.8 million were minted. This piece is clearly superior, as seen from
the thick mint frost that covers each side. The luster shines brightly
through the amazing lavender and rose toning on the obverse, as
well as the even golden toning on the reverse. As one would expect,
there are no mentionable marks on either side. The striking details
are just a bit soft, most notably on the tips of the feathers, which is
commonly seen on this issue. Census: 15 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3933)
1917 MS67 Buffalo Nickel
Tied for Second Finest Certified
394 1917 MS67 NGC. With a mintage in excess of 51 million pieces
it is difficult to make a case for absolute rarity for the 1917 nickel.
However, even though rolls were available until recently there are
surprisingly few examples that have been certified in MS67 by the
two major services. NGC has only graded five other pieces with one
finer, and PCGS has certified 10 in MS67 with two finer (4/10). This
would make a superlative early type coin. The surfaces have mint
frost that rolls around the coin unimpeded by abrasions, and each
side displays light, attractive rose and lilac toning. Also important
for type-coin consideration, the strike is complete on each side.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3934)
Remarkably Well Struck 1917-D Nickel, MS66
395 191 7-D MS66 NGC. The 1917-D is known for weak strikes.
Actually, much of the weakness that is generally found is a result
of die erosion. Close examination of this piece shows the fine,
pebbly effects of erosion deep within the recesses of the design
elements. Naturally, overused dies would show lessened high point
details. This coin actually is well defined in all areas except over
the bison’s head, leading one to the conclusion that to compensate
for older dies the mint increased striking pressure.
This is a fabulous example of this scarce, early Buffalo nickel.
The surfaces are bright and satiny, which underlies the moderate
rose and lilac toning seen on each side. As one would expect from a
coin in this grade, there are no obvious abrasions present. Census: 6
in 66, 1 finer (4/10).

Essential Registry Set 1917-S Buffalo Nickel, MS67
The Sole Finest Certified at Either Service
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 75
396 1917-S MS67 NGC. Although NGC has certified 10 examples of the 1917-S Buffalo
nickel in MS66 and PCGS has graded six at that level (with almost certain duplications
in those numbers), the present MS67 1917-S nickel is the only one so certified at
either service (4/10). This coin thus combines two important criteria to collectors:
It is foundationally rare—that is, it is rare in all grades. In addition, this piece is not only
conditionally rare in MS67, we are justified in saying that it is conditionally unique. Any
Registry Set collector pursuing the ultimate such set simply must have this coin, and none other.
There is no overestimating the strength and vigor of the Registry Set phenomenon, a logical
extension of many collectors’ natural competitiveness. The competition for the finest coins
is usually social camaraderie of the most appealing kind, and it can actually help collectors so
inclined to form new and delightful associations with other like-minded numismatists.
This piece is extremely appealing, and we repeat that it is of crucial importance to the many
collectors of this popular series. David Lange points out in The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels
that the majority of 1917-S nickels are not well struck, but a small minority are:
“As with 1915-S nickels, a relatively small number of coins may be found that are extreme¬
ly well struck. Again, it has been suggested that these were coined from proof dies. More
likely is that the dies were simply unworn and closely set within the press, the ideal situa¬
tion for any coining operation but one that was seldom maintained with respect to Buffalo
Nickels. Most examples of this date have strong central details but weak peripheral ele¬
ments. This is enhanced by the prevalence of erosion in the die along the inner border, as
described for 1916-S.”
This particular piece does show some evidence of die erosion, visible around the obverse periphery,
which produces some pebbly effects in the luster in those areas. Two small die cracks appear on the
obverse, one from the rim through Y and to the nose, a second one from the rim at 8 o’clock, through the
lowest feather and onto the hair above the braid. The reverse appears relatively fresh in comparison,
although we note a small die crack from the rim at 1 o’clock through ER in AMERICA.
The overall strike, however, is unusually sharp, producing sculptural detail to all
design elements. The knot binding the hair in the Indian’s queue is well separated
at both top and bottom. All digits of the date are bold, and the hairline is complete.
On the reverse, the bison’s tail is split, the hair at the shoulder is sharp if not entirely full,
and the hair on the head is of similar quality. Contact is, of course, not an issue here.
We believe the Mint may have been compensating for the worn obverse die by, as Lange says,
bringing the set distance—the distance between the dies, which controls the strength of details or
the lack thereof—closer together. The smooth, satiny surfaces show an overlay of subtle rose and
lilac on each side. An essential and memorable addition to an advanced collection of Buffalo nickels.

397 1918 MS67 NGC. The 1918 Buffalo nickel, with its mintage
of more than 32 million pieces, elicits different points of view
among numismatists regarding its availability. For example, David
Bowers, in his Buffalo and Jefferson nickel Guidebook , states that
the issue: is plentiful in all grades, providing the opportunity
to cherrypick for quality.” In his The Complete Guide to Buffalo
Nickels, on the other hand, David Lange says: “This high-mintage
issue is inexplicably difficult to locate across all grades, the number
of coins reportedly struck being at odds with this date’s survival
rate. Where did they all go?” Lange addresses his own question
with another: “Is it possible that technical problems (associated
with inexperienced mint personnel hired during the war years)
plagued the 1918(P) nickels and that the published mintage figures
may include many coins which ultimately had to be withheld from
release? Although undocumented and inconsistent with Mint
practice, this theory remains interesting food for thought.”
This Superb Gem certainly did not encounter production
or quality-control problems. Its radiantly lustrous surfaces are
completely devoid of toning streaks, laminations, stains, or other
planchet defects that often affect coinage during war years. The strike
is impressive, with sharpness seen on the horn, the date, and the tail.
Only a small portion of the hair directly above the bison’s forehead
shows a hint of softness. Whispers of pastel rose, powder-blue, and
gold patina rest over each side. Census: 3 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

Extraordinary 1918 Buffalo Nickel, MS67 ★
Doubled Die Reverse, FS-801
398 1918 MS67 ★ NGC. FS-801. The clash marks around E
PLURIBUS UNUM act as a die marker, and further examination of
the area reveals distinct doubling to the north on that motto. This
doubled die reverse variant is a comparatively recent discovery, one
that has gained immensely in popularity since 2000, when Fivaz
and Stanton predicted increased interest in Volume One of their
Cherry picker s’ Guide. This coin is far and away the top certified
example for the variety, with the next-highest piece acknowledged
by NGC an XF45.
Moreover, this Star-designated Superb Gem is tied for numerically
finest certified by either NGC or PCGS (4/10). In David Lange’s The
Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, the author writes of the 1918 that
it “... is inexplicably difficult to locate across all grades, the number
of coins reportedly struck being at odds with this date’s survival rate.”
In addition, most coins known today exhibit substantial striking
softness, particularly at the centers, as well as middling luster.
Close examination of this breathtaking representative should
dispel any such concerns. Between the substantially above-average
detail on the softly frosted central devices and the powerful, swirling
luster that graces the virtually flawless surfaces, this piece boasts
incredible technical appeal. The spectacular patina that visits each
side, gold-orange and nickel-blue on each side with occasional
magenta accents, makes this coin an impressive visual spectacle as
well. One seldom encounters a piece that combines magnificent
preservation and numismatic importance the way the present
example does, and series enthusiasts should recognize this special
opportunity.

1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel in Gem Condition
An Incredible Opportunity for the Specialist
78 To view full descriptions, enlargeable images and bid online, visit HA.com/1140
400 191 8/7 -D MS65 NGC. FS-1 0 1 . A shortage of minor coins that developed toward the end of World
War I, specifically in the 1917'18 timeframe, was responsible for a number of interrelated events
that interest numismatists today. The mintage of 1917 Philadelphia Lincoln cents hit a new series
high of 196 million-plus coins, handily outstripping 1910’s previous record of 146.8 million pieces.
With so many coinage dies produced, it is unsurprising today to note the existence of the famous
and popular Guide Book variety, the 1917 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln cent, FS-101.
The mintage figure of the 1917 Buffalo nickel was a hefty 51.4 million coins, also a large
production while not quite setting a series record, since 1916’s emission was 63 million pieces. Two
different Doubled Die Reverse 1917 nickels are listed in Cherrypickers’ , FS-801 and FS-802 (although
they have yet to gain Guide Book listings). The 1918 Buffalo nickel mintage in Philadelphia was
32 million pieces, and a Doubled Die Reverse of that issue is also listed in Cherrypickers as FS-801.
But the most famous and elusive nickel error of 1918, by far, was created in Denver, as part of the
modest production of 8.3 million coins, the Guide Book-listed 1918/7-D Buffalo nickel.
The 1918/7-D nickel, like other modern wartime overdates, is a dual-hub error. Late in 1917,
when both the current- and future-year dies were being produced, one die got a blow from two
differently dated hubs between annealings or work-hardenings, with the D mintmark subsequently
affixed and shipped to Denver from the Philadelphia Mint die workshop. The first auction
appearance was at a Barney Bluestone sale in October 1931—more than a decade between its
creation and recognition—so many examples are in the lower circulated grades. There are only a few
dozen examples certified in Mint State at both services combined, and even those figures are inflated
due to resubmissions, crossovers, and crackouts. Many specimens in later die states show a tiny die
crack from the top of the knot in the Indian’s braid, running forward onto the cheek.
This Gem offers impressive detail for the issue with only trifling softness at the bison’s shoulder,
while the two heads and the all-important date area are notably sharp. The luster is soft and
lightly frosted with light nickel-gray color forming the centers and bands of gold and peach around
the rims. Small marks are scattered and generally appear away from the prime focal areas. An
incredible addition to a top-flight Buffalo nickel set. Census: 4 in 65, 0 finer (4/10).

Lustrous, Sharply Struck 1918-S Nickel, MS66
Tied for Finest Certified
401 1918-S MS66 NGC. The 1918-S Buffalo nickel is an issue
that needs no introduction to dedicated series specialists,
although we hope this marvelous collection may incite many
new numismatists to consider the challenging but extremely
rewarding pastime of collecting Buffalo nickels. Except for
Lincoln cents—which this collection also features in
abundance—the Buffalo nickel series is likely the most widely
collected small denomination in all U.S. coinage.
The 1918-S Buffalo nickel is a conditional rarity of the
highest order within the series. As Exhibit 1 in the evidence,
we offer the combined certified populations at NGC and PCGS
of the 1918-S nickels certified in MS66: a precise total of three
coins, two at NGC and one at PCGS (4/10)—needless to say,
there are none finer.
David Lange explains the quality challenges of the issue in
this way:
“The striking problem noted for 1918(P) and D is much
worse for 1918-S. In addition, the date is sometimes
weak, especially in the first two digits. Most examples
have frosty luster that is somewhat subdued. A very
bright 1918'S nickel is a rarity, but then so are mint
state examples of any quality.”
Soft luster filters through gold and mauve toning that is
slightly deeper on the reverse. The strike is strong overall, with
only minor weakness visible on the bison’s shoulder and the
center of the portrait’s braid. An uncommonly attractive example
of this challenging issue, smooth and extremely attractive, with
just a few tiny marks and fly specks scattered on the obverse.

Only One Piece Graded Finer
402 1919 MS67 NGC. While abundant in circulated and lower Mint
State grades, the 1919 has proved to be unusually elusive in Superb
condition. The primary deterrent is strike, which is all too often
soft on this issue in spite of its high mintage. However, a few coins
were struck and subsequently preserved from new dies that were set
close enough together to produce strong strikes. This is one such

Phenomenal MS66 1919-S Nickel, MS66
Tied for Finest Certified
404 1919-S MS66 NGC. Few Buffalo nickel issues have accrued
the kind of notoriety associated with the 1919-S. While it
has been acknowledged as a major condition rarity for some
time, particularly in Gem and better states, this has translated
into increased popular appeal and higher prices only in recent

columns from Numismatic News is instructive: the first, dated
December 24, 2002, describes the 1919-S as having been a
$10,000 coin “for some years,” implying that while the price
was substantial, it had not moved in some time; whereas the
second column, dated February 7, 2006, focused on the 1919-S
and its dramatic appreciation in Gem, quoting figures nearly
double that of Green’s 2002 column. Growing interest in
assembling high-end sets of Buffalo nickels has translated into
vastly increased demand for the finest examples of the most
challenging condition rarities in the series, and the 1919-S is
one of those issues most affected.
Further complicating the search for a high-end example of
this issue is the appearance of most high-end survivors. A quick
glance at David Lange’s The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels
reveals a litany of negative phrases associated with the issue:
“notorious for being weakly struck,” “disappointing luster,”
“typically seen mushy example,” “not attractive.” Looking at
this Premium Gem, however, those indictments all miss the
mark. While this strongly lustrous piece does show a degree
of softness on the bison’s shoulder, the portrait and the bison’s
horn show impressively crisp detail. Occasional gold and
peach shadings enhance the eye appeal, and the surfaces are
delightfully preserved. This is one of just 10 MS66 pieces in the
combined certified population, eight graded by NGC (several
of which are surely resubmissions) and two by PCGS, with
none finer (4/10).

405 1920 MS67 PCGS. Ex: ADM Collection. The mintage of more
than 63 million pieces gives an indication that Mint State pieces
should be available of this issue. However, very few have survived
in MS67 condition. PCGS has only certified eight in this grade, and
NGC has graded only five. None are finer at either service (4/10).
This is a spectacularly lustrous coin. While basically presenting as
brilliant, there is actually just a hint of pink and lilac patina on
each side. Fully struck also.

Stunning 1920-D Buffalo Nickel, MS67 ★
84 To view full descriptions, enlargeable images and bid online, visit HA.com/1140
406 1920-D MS67 ★ NGC. Ex: Yankee Collection. After the 1920-D Buffalo nickel issue was
produced, the Denver Mint took three years off, with the next Denver Mint Buffalo nickel minted
in 1924. David Lange explains why in The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels (third edition):
Conventional wisdom, aided by the poorly-researched articles of well-meaning numismatic
writers, has long ascribed this drop in production to the fact that the Mints were too busy
coining silver dollars mandated by the 1918 Pittman Act. In reality, the huge mintages of
minor coins prompted by the wartime boom of 1916-20 collided with the severe economic
recession of 1921-22. The U.S. Mint director’s annual reports clearly reveal that there was
simply a glut of coins during the early 1920s, and it wasn’t until the latter months of 1923
that a demand appeared for additional pieces.
The large mintage figure of nearly 10 million coins does little to suggest the importance
of the 1920-D nickel in higher Mint State grades. Denver Mint press operators were
frequently inattentive at that time, and allowed production of coins that were below the
accepted standard. Many poorly produced pieces lack strong details, although sharply struck
examples can be found with patience. A number of coin designs have a special designation
for sharply defined examples, such as Jefferson Full Steps nickels, Mercury Full Bands dimes,
and Franklin Full Bell Line half dollars. Each of those series have individual issues that are
major rarities when fully struck, and priced accordingly. The Buffalo nickel deserves its
own sharp strike designation, perhaps “Full Tail” or some such, with the result of increased
recognition for sharply defined pieces. Forward looking collectors may want to search for sharply
detailed Buffalo nickels in advance of such a designation addition, should it ever happen.
Concentric target toning comprises heather and lilac in the centers, ceding outward to amber-
gold, jade, and violet at the extreme rims. The strike is remarkable even if not quite complete.
The braid tie shows full separation at the top and bottom, with trivial softness on the hair just
above. The buffalo has a split tail, with minor softness at the shoulder and the hair above the
horn. The mintmark and other peripheral details are sharply impressed, although LIBERTY
shows minor weakness at the top. Stunning quality overall, with the Star designation.
Connoisseurs recognize the importance of sharply struck Buffalo nickels of all dates, and will
take delight with the present specimen. The combination of a bold strike, brilliant underlying
luster, and remarkable toning provides an unbeatable triple-play. A single NGC MS66, two
PCGS MS66 coins, and two NGC submissions certified MS67 ★ are the only 1920-D nickels
certified in grades finer than MS65. In a sale that offers numerous amazing coins, the present
opportunity is one that is seldom encountered, and must be aggressively pursued by the specialist.

Shimmering 1920-S Nickel, MS66
Single Finest Graded at NGC
407 1920-S MS66 NGC. The 1920-S Buffalo nickel is another
mintmarked issue from the 1920s that is extremely difficult
to find with welhmade, choice surfaces. David Lange has no
shortage of opinions on the issue, which he shares in The
Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels:
“Well struck coins are scarce and highly prized. Fully
struck examples are virtually unknown. Most seen range
in strike from fair all the way to awful, the reverse being
particularly subject to extreme die erosion and incom¬
pleteness. The worst ones look like wax coins left to
melt in the sun. The San Francisco Mint may have
utilized elderly reverse dies left over from previous years,
a seemingly common practice from about 1917 through
1926.”
This Premium Gem has decidedly above-average design
definition, particularly on the bison’s head. As Lange notes,
the mere fact of a strong strike on the reverse puts this splendid
coin in a distinct minority. This coin is struck from an eroded
obverse die, although the reverse die appears to have been fresh.
The quicksilver luster on both sides is similarly strong for the
issue, shimmering beneath peripheral gold and orange shadings
and light gray centers. Even under close scrutiny, marks are
hard to find. This piece is tied for the finest certified with a
single MS66 coin at PCGS, and there are none graded finer at
either service. Another marvelous opportunity for the Registry
Set specialists—one that will not soon repeat—or perhaps a
chance for some collectors to begin a new and challenging, but
highly rewarding series.

Gorgeous 1921 Buffalo Nickel, MS67
408 1921 MS67 NGC. The mintage of 10,663,000 Buffalo nickels
at Philadelphia in 1921 seems, on the surface, to be significant.
However, during the first eight years of the design, the Pennsylvania
facility averaged over 46 million pieces per year. This Superb Gem
has brilliant satin luster and bold design features with nearly a full
strike. It is an amazing piece that exhibits gorgeous gold, blue, and
iridescent toning. Census: 12 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

Phenomenal Lustrous and Sharply Struck
1921-S Nickel, MS66, With Lovely Color
409 1921-S MS66 NGC. One long look at this phenomenal 1921-
S—it is impossible to look for only a moment—and one knows
that this is a keeper if ever there was one, a 1921-S destined for
the nicest set imaginable. For an issue normally plagued with
various planchet and production deficiencies, this coin is entirely
superior in every conceivable criterion to the average example.
The marvelous patina is first, mellow pinkish-gold and ice-blue,
with olive and rose. The strike is extraordinarily sharp. The luster
is top-drawer throughout, and yet the dies appear fairly fresh. An
unimprovable coin, in this cataloger’s view, and tied for finest at
NGC and PCGS. Census: 4 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).

one of less than a dozen certified at this level between NGC and
PCGS combined. The strike is much sharper than normal for the
issue, and delightful light patina covers the quicksilver surfaces on
both sides, pinkish-gold on the obverse with mint, rose, and ice-
blue shades on the reverse. The sharp strike further enhances its
enormous appeal. Census: 7 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).

Impressive Superb Gem 1924 Nickel
412 1924 MS67 NGC. Despite a mintage well over 21 million pieces,
the 1924 nickel poses a challenge to the high-end collector. As
David Lange writes in his Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, “1924'
P nickels are much less common than their mintage suggests. ...
In mint state, all grades short of gem may be found, but in smaller
quantities than for 1925 and later P-Mints. The certified population
of mint state coins is notably low.”
So it is for Superb Gems such as the present coin, one of just
nine MS67 coins in the combined certified population with none
graded MS68 or better (4/10). The present piece has bold design
detail and swirling luster beneath rose-tinted gold patina broken by
small areas of nickel-white. A memorable survivor.

Glorious 1924-S Buffalo, MS66 ★
414 1924-S MS66 ★ NGC. Ranking among the lowest mintage
issues with a production of less than 1.5 million coins, the
1924-S is an important rarity in the Buffalo nickel series, in
demand regardless of its grade. Coins that grade VF or finer are
especially desirable. This issue was minted a decade before the
advent of coin boards and albums heightened the popularity
of date and mintmark collecting. Because of that, Mint State
coins have only survived as a matter of chance, and the low
mintage guaranteed their condition rarity. Most Mint State
coins are in the lower grade range from MS60 to MS63, and
Choice, Gem, or finer examples are highly elusive.
Glorious eye appeal with hazel centers on both sides ceding
to delightful orange-gold rim toning. Well but not fully struck,
with trivial weakness at the braid and the bottom of the lowest
feather on the obverse. Fully struck coins remain unknown.
The bison’s tail is split on the reverse, but minor softness
shows on the shoulder and hair on the head. Remarkable
quality, justly recognized with the NGC Star designation.
The NGC Census Report shows five examples of the 1924-
S Buffalo certified as MS66, including two without the star
designation and three with that designation (4/10). Those
three MS66 ★ nickels are the finest that NGC has certified,
and may represent some duplication through resubmissions.
The opportunity to acquire an example of the finest available
1924-S Buffalo nickel is rarely encountered, and the wise bidder
will take full advantage of the present offering.

cannot be said to be full, particularly on the bison’s shoulder, the
definition is above-average for the issue, and the eye appeal easily
outpaces the norm. Frosty luster swirls beneath light layers of gold
and heather toning. There are no singularly mentionable marks on

Aesthetically Appealing 1925-S Nickel
MS66, Among the Three Finest Graded
417 1925-S MS66 NGC. Dave Bowers shares his substantial
wisdom about the 1925-S issue in A Guide Book of Buffalo and
Jefferson Nickels: “It is possible to buy a gorgeous Mint State
1925-S nickel with rich luster and superb eye appeal, but you
will be on your own.” He also notes:
“The 1925-S nickel is complex, especially in Mint State,
because certified examples are identified only as MS64,
MS65, and so on. In reality, a few are simply miserable
strikes, with flatness of certain date numerals and the
lettering at the bottom of the reverse. Others are weak
in the usual places—the center of both sides and on the
bison’s fur. Still others masquerading as ‘Mint State’ are
dull, cleaned coins that have been doctored by adding
toning.”
David Lange tells more about this issue in The Complete
Guide to Buffalo Nickels:
“1925-S nickels typically have just average to good luster.
In combination with their generally mushy appearance,
the aesthetic value of this issue is low, regardless of its
certified grade. Collectors, whatever their budget, buy
this date simply to complete their sets.”
Although the strike of this piece is typical, with soft obverse
details and bold reverse details, the aesthetic appeal is higher
than normal, due to the brilliant nickel-gray surfaces that
exhibit pale champagne toning. This piece ranks as one of the
finest examples known, with only one other certified at NGC
and one at PCGS, and there are none finer (4/10).

419 1926-D MS67 NGC. One of several challenging mintmarked

collectors: With three MS67 coins in the combined certified
population (4/10), it is attainable in that grade, but barely. The
offering of this Superb Gem, then, must be seen as an uncommon
opportunity. The strike is impressive on this coin, particularly at
the often-weak bison’s shoulder, and the luster is delightful. Blue-
to-lavender toning crosses the centers on each side, while the
borders are mostly gold with a streak of violet along the words FIVE
CENTS on the reverse.

Breathtaking 1926-S Nickel, MS66 ★
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 93
420 1926-S MS66 ★ NGC. The 1926-S Buffalo nickel offers an interesting case study in pinpointing
how various factors can play into how an issue can be perceived as well-made or not. Unlike
many dates considered poorly made, there was no mad scramble to strike Buffalo nickels at
San Francisco in 1926; fewer than a million pieces were produced, and it is the only regular
business-strike date to fall below that mintage threshold. Thus, haste is not a consideration.
Neither was poor planchet quality a concern, David Lange, in his Complete Guide to Buffalo
Nickels, terms the year’s blanks “well made.” Mr. Lange also cites the issue for its “good luster,”
though Q. David Bowers contradicts this in his Guide Book of Buffalo and Jefferson Nickels, in
which he writes: “Luster is dull, sometimes ‘greasy,’ though a few have attractive luster.”
With planchets out of the way, this leaves dies and striking as possible culprits. Both receive
criticism from Bowers, who states: “The striking is unremarkable, the result of inaccurate die
spacing and, perhaps, keeping dies in the press too long. The net result is that neither I, nor
any contributor to [the Guide Book] have seen a Full Details coin.” By contrast, Lange lays the
blame squarely on the dies: “Worn reverse dies are the norm for 1926-S. These were probably
leftovers from previous years, since dateless dies could be used until they failed completely.”
Whether a poor strike or worn dies are to blame, or some entirely different factor
is responsible, the challenge of finding an attractive 1926-S nickel is well-established.
Bowers reports that even among unworn coins, many are “unsatisfactory,” and even
finding one of the relative handful of certified Mint State pieces is hardly a guarantee
that a coin will be eye-appealing. If for no other reason, the elusive nature of pleasing
1926-S nickels makes the Star designation awarded to this coin all the more remarkable.
The eye appeal of this Premium Gem is instantly memorable. The bison’s head is remarkably
sharp, with a fully outlined and rounded horn. While the coin shows a measure of the usual
softness on the bison’s shoulder, this quibble is overwhelmed by the impressive toning and
luster. Rich orange, gold, and violet-gray colors cover most of each side, and the surfaces shine
boldly. Only a handful of tiny marks keep this beauty from an even finer designation.
In many ways, it is the ultimate example of the issue, and an opportunity not to be missed.
NGC has certified just three 1926-S nickels as MS66, while PCGS has graded none at that level,
with no coins finer at either service (4/10); moreover, of the three NGC-graded coins, this is the
only one awarded the Star designation. When this example was offered in April 2008 by Bowers
and Merena, the cataloger wrote, “This coin lays serious claim to the title of ‘finest known’ for this
key-date Buffalo Nickel, and it is a coin that would confirm the importance of whatever collection
in which it is included.” To which the present cataloger can only add: mission accomplished, with
high hopes for history to repeat itself.

Outstanding 1927-S Nickel, MS66 ★
Tied for Finest Certified at NGC
423 1927-S MS66 ★ NGC. The 1927-S Buffalo nickel issue is one
that series outsiders might consider a common date, coming as
it does within a decade of the series’ end in 1937, and certainly
seldom mentioned in the same breath as rarer S-mint issues
such as 1926-S, 1924-S, or 1921-S. But despite its mintage of
more than 3.4 million coins, it is nonetheless a conditional
rarity, common in circulated grades but rare in Mint State,
and David Lange reports that the issue is “genuinely rare in
choice and gem condition.” Bowers comments more extensively
concerning the issue, noting that most Mint State examples are
lightly struck overall, and that coins with sharp details usually
have the bison’s fur complete but not needle-sharp. He also
mentions the prevalence of artificially toned coins—something
that this coin most decidedly is not.
One glance at the incredible luster on this 1927-S informs
the viewer of just how special—and completely original—this
piece is. Both sides positively gleam beneath rich waves of
gold and orange toning that mingle with pewter-gray. The
strike is more than solid for the date, and abrasions are difficult
to detect. Easily one of the most memorable 1927-S nickels
Heritage has handled in recent years. This Premium Gem coin
has been awarded the added NGC Star kicker for superior eye
appeal. Surprisingly, NGC has awarded the MS66 ★ grade to
five such coins—allowing for possible duplication—and there
are none certified numerically finer, either at NGC or PCGS
(4/10). This Premium Gem represents another opportunity from
this incredible collection that may not soon repeat, and astute
aficionados of the series must act—and bid—accordingly.

Marvelous 1928-S Nickel, MS67 ★
Sole Finest Certified at Either Service
426 1928-S MS67 ★ NGC. Although the 1928-S Buffalo nickel
may be thought of by neophytes as a common date due to its
lateness within the series, nothing could be further from the
truth. While not an absolute rarity, it is quite the conditional
rarity in the highest grade. This Superb Gem coin, with the
added NGC Star designation for superior eye appeal, is the
sole finest certified 1 928-S nickel in the combined populations at
NGC and PCGS (4/10).
Despite the healthy mintage of 1928-S nickels that exceeds
6.9 million coins, the issue is generally plagued by soft strikes.
David Lange’s Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels notes that the
majority of 1928-S nickels show “a general softness in the date,
the mintmark and the bison’s forehead” and that Gems are rare,
usually due to strike deficiencies.
This piece, although perhaps a shade less than fully struck,
boasts sharp, excellent detail throughout. On the obverse, the
separation at the knot holding the Indian’s queue from the
hair above and below is nearly complete. The lowest feather
behind the head is a touch soft, but all other obverse details
are marvelously sculpted. On the reverse, there is not only an
obvious full horn, but the tail on the bison is fully split. The
bison is appropriately furry, and the head shows only the most
trivial strike softness.
Overall, this piece is far and away the most attractive of
the issue we have ever seen. The high points are suffused with
pinkish-gold and lilac hues on both sides, blending at the rims
to ice-blue. A small round dot of darker copper-colored toning
appears just before the buffalo’s front foreleg. The eye appeal is
incredible, and abrasions are completely absent. Census: 1 in

Amazing 1931-S Buffalo Nickel, MS67
432 1931-S MS67 NGC. Sunset gold blends with lovely lilac and
blue toning over satiny luster on this Superb Gem 1931-S nickel.
During the depression, coinage production was limited across most
denominations and mints. In 1931, for example, Buffalo nickels
were only minted at San Francisco, with a total production of a mere
1.2 million coins. Of course, nearly all of those coins were needed in
circulation, and today Mint State specimens are scarce. In Superb
Gem, the 1931-S is an extremely rare issue as the population data
reveals. NGC and PCGS have only graded five coins, with none
finer at either service. Census: 3 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

Richly Toned MS67 1934 Buffalo Nickel
433 1934 MS67 NGC. Deep, beautiful mauve coloration predominates
on each side, complementing the amber-gold patina at the rims.
The strike is robust, although the 3 in the date is partially filled due
to buildup from the die. Nonetheless, a delightful late die state and
among the couple of dozen finest-graded examples at both services
combined. Census: 13 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3972)
434 1934-D MS66 PCGS. Fully lustrous surfaces display an occasional
blush of medium golden-brown color. Well struck with amazing eye
appeal for this Denver issue, which is not known as a Superb Gem
in the combined certified population (4/10).

435 1935 MS67 PCGS. Delicate blue, gold, and lavender tints visit
the immensely lustrous surfaces of this MS67 beauty. Well-defined
and impressively preserved. PCGS has graded just one numerically
finer example (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3974)
1935 Doubled Die Reverse Nickel
An Incredible Gem
436 1935 Doubled Die Reverse MS65 PCGS. FS-801. The Guide
Book classic, an elusive, prominent doubled die most readily visible
on the U of UNITED and the C in CENTS as well as the motto
E PLURIBUS UNUM. The authors of the Cherry picker s’ Guide
comment, “This variety is extremely rare in any grade above Very
Fine. About 10 are known in Mint State.” This figure is perhaps
a trifle low, in view of the 14 certification events for Mint State
examples at PCGS, but with this Gem knotted with one other
possible piece for the finest certified example of the issue (4/10), its
rarity is beyond question. Gold-orange and mint-green shades cover
the obverse and the peripheral reverse, while the core of the latter
side has deep blue-violet toning.

Sharply Struck 1935-D Nickel, MS67
Tied for Finest Certified
437 1935-D MS67 NGC. Deep golden toning is seen over each side of
this lustrous Superb Gem, one of fewer than a dozen pieces graded
MS67 at both services combined. The strike is nearly complete on
the high points of each side and the eye appeal is tremendous, with
no mentionable abrasions. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

1935-S Nickel, MS67 ★, Tied for Finest Certified
Frosted, Variegated Toning
438 1935-S MS67 ★ NGC. The surfaces are instantly appealing
on this lovely toned piece, with rings of delicate amber-gold
complementing the centers of heather and olive-green. The strike
is a tad better than usually seen for the issue. Fittingly, NGC has
awarded its coveted Star designation for exceptional eye appeal,
as it is doubtful that a more attractive specimen could even exist.
Census: 3 in 67 ★, 0 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3976)
439 1936 MS67 PCGS. Well struck with beautiful satiny luster
and essentially untoned surfaces that have an iridescent sheen
near the centers, and hints of gold color near the borders.
Immaculately preserved and seemingly pristine. Population: 88 in
67, 0 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3977)
440 1936-D MS67 PCGS. One of only 60 examples (less duplicates)
certified in Superb Gem at PCGS, with only two pieces finer
(4/10). The centers are quicksilver, with lovely faint hints of
lavender near the rims on each side. Some advanced die erosion
lends a frosty texture to portions of each side.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3978)
441 1936-S MS67 NGC. A lovely Superb Gem with sunset-orange
peripheries complementing faint lavender toning in the centers.
Although PCGS has certified 60 examples in this grade, there are
none finer (4/10). Boldly struck and thoroughly delightful.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3979)
Brightly Frosted 1937 Buffalo Nickel, MS68
None Certified Finer
442 1937 MS68 NGC. Delicate ice-blue and rose toning are seen over
both sides of this this brightly lustrous Superb Gem. The strike is
full aside from the unavoidable inexactness on the hair above the
braid. The surfaces are remarkably devoid of carbon, and contact
is virtually undetectable. An excellent candidate for the finest
quality type set as none are certified finer at either service. Census:
6 in 68, 0 finer (4/10).
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3980)
443 1937-D MS67 PCGS. A lightly golden-toned and virtually
immaculate Superb Gem. Well struck save for the expected
slight blending on the hair above the braid. Interesting raised die
polishing lines appear on the reverse fields, indicating a fresh new
die. Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 83 in 67, 1
finer (4/10).

1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel, MS67
Tied for Finest Certified
444 1937-D Three-Legged MS67 NGC. FS-901. Walter Breen,
in discussing this famous error coin, goes so far as to identify
the “then-newcomer” Mint workman who plied that notorious
“emery board” to such deleterious effect. But even before the
dies clashed together, they must have shown considerable signs
of fatigue and erosion, since there are numerous die markers on
both sides that must have taken the striking of many thousands
of coins to develop. This has left the Three-Legged Buffalo with
a peculiar effect (or should we say, another peculiar effect),
in that the luster is usually found diffuse and nonreflective,
even on examples that are strictly Mint State. There are
exceptions to this rule, but they are few and far between. When
numismatists encounter the rare Three-Legged Buffalo with
generous mint luster, it is a rare prize indeed. Lange says of the
1937-D nickels in general: “The dies for this issue were used far
too long, and they reveal light to very heavy erosion. The latter
is seen most prominently [on] the Three-Legged variety.”
Even if this Superb Gem did not bear its famous variety on
the reverse, it would be a high-end coin worthy of a top-notch
type or date collection. As a Three-Legged coin, it is all the
more impressive. The design detail is as sharp as any collector
is ever likely to see, despite the considerable die erosion present
on both obverse and reverse. The mint luster is surprisingly
frosty beneath delicate layers of peach-gold, pale green, and
blue patina. Seemingly unimprovable and instantly memorable.

Fabulously Toned 1937-S Nickel, MS68 ★
The Finest Certified
445 1937-S MS68 ★ NGC. David Lange, writing of the 1937-S nickel
(5.6 million mintage) in the third edition (2006) of his book The
Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, says “This issue is common in all
grades. It is also the most available S-mint Buffalo nickel in Gem
condition.” The population figures bear this out. NGC and PCGS
combined have graded more than 4,800 coins as MS65, nearly
2,300 in MS66, and 175 MS67s. One coin is NGC-certified MS68,
and this piece is the finest graded at the MS68 ★ level.
Iridescent rainbow patina gravitates to the margins of this
marvelous specimen, while golden-gray, mauve, and powder-blue
toning rests in the center areas. A powerful strike is seen over the
design features, and the radiantly lustrous surfaces are immaculately
preserved.

1938-D Buffalo Nickel, MS68 ★
Tied as Finest Certified
446 1938-D MS68 ★ NGC. While several thousand 1938-D Buffalo
nickels have been certified as high as MS66, this MS68 ★ stands at
the conditional apex of the known examples. Only six other MS68
★ coins have been certified and none are finer (4/10). The striking
details are strong throughout, and there are splashes of lemon, ruby-
red, and lime-green that endow this highly lustrous Superb Gem.
The fields have an orange peel texture, as made from long-lived
dies. A prize for the toning connoisseur.
From The Brenda John Collection. (#3984)
447 1938-D/D Buffalo MS67 PCGS. Well-defined as usual with
the mintmark plainly repunched west-to-east, most obviously
on the upright. Strongly lustrous with zones of thin peach and
ice-blue patina covering much of the carefully preserved surfaces.
Population: 58 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

448 1938-D/S MS67 NGC. OMM-2. Not the Guide Book variety, but
still a plain overmintmark with the curve of the S prominent within
the hollow of the D. Rich peach-to-orange peripheral toning gives
way to a mix of nickel-white and gold at the centers.

PR67 Matte 1914 Nickel
451 1914 PR67 NGC. CAC. Light chestnut toning enriches this
exquisitely struck and immaculate Superb Gem. Matte proof
Buffalo nickels were only struck for four years, and are under strong
collector demand since they are invariably sharper than their
business strike peers. Census: 66 in 67, 9 finer (4/10).
Ex: Atlanta ANA Signature (Heritage, 4/2006), lot 329, which realized
$3,737.50.

PR68 1915 Buffalo Nickel
An Essentially Perfect Proof Striking
452 1915 PR68 NGC. There were seven proof issues in the Buffalo
nickel series and the first five struck were struck with a matte
finish. The 1915 was the penultimate matte proof issue and is the
second-rarest after the 1916. Proofs of all denominations were
discontinued after 1916 due to collector dissatisfaction with the
matte finish and the mint’s reluctance to take the time to prepare
proofs of the newly issued silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars.
A pleasing ring of deep golden-russet patina encircles the steel-
blue and silver-gray centers of this piece. Satiny luster glistens over
the virtually perfect surfaces. The strike is needle-sharp, as one
would expect. A boldly attractive specimen. Census: 3 in 68, 1 finer

Beautiful 1916 Nickel, PR67
453 1916 PR67 NGC. One of just 600 proof Buffalo nickels produced
in 1916, this originally toned specimen displays competing swirls
of golden-orange and medium-gray toning with splashes of ice-
blue iridescence here and there. The razor-sharp strike and fine
grain, satin textured surfaces are fully appreciable in the absence of
bothersome handling marks and carbon flecks. A simply beautiful

Memorable 1936 Buffalo, PR68
Satin Finish
454 1936 Type One—Satin Finish PR68 PCGS. An essentially
perfect Satin Finish example of this first striking variant from 1936.
Following the matte proof coins that were struck two decades earlier,
the first 1936 proof nickels had a finish reminiscent of the earlier
coins, although without the grainy appearance. Pinpoint striking
details characterize this proof, and each side is covered with rich
golden-rose and lilac toning. The strike is so bold, in fact, that thin
guide lines are visible at the top and bottom of the date. A memorable
Satin Finish nickel. Population: 27 in 68, 1 finer (4/10).

Brilliant Blue 1936 Type Two Nickel, PR68
455 1936 Type Two—Brilliant Finish PR68 NGC. Ice-blue color on
both sides provides a stunning visual effect. An example of the later
brilliant mirrored finish. Perhaps half of the 4,420 coin mintage was
produced in each style, for these coins seem to be of approximately
equal rarity today. From both a visual and technical perspective,
this is one of the finest 1936 Buffalo Nickels we have handled.

couple of trivial marks below the bison’s belly help to pedigree the
coin. Census: 39 in 68, 0 finer (4/10).

ADDITIONAL BUFFALO NICKELS
Superb Gem 1913-D Type One Nickel
An Essential One-Year Type
457 1913-D Type One MS67 PCGS. An outstanding example of this
date. Each side shows deep, bright mint luster with faint evidence
of metal flow toward the peripheries. The striking details are strong
throughout and there are no noticeable abrasions, nor would any
be expected at the MS67 level. The surfaces are lightly toned
with light golden centers that are surrounded by pale blue at the
margins. Population: 46 in 67, 2 finer (4/10). (#3916)
458 1913 Type Two MS66 PCGS. A generally welbdefined example
of this initial Type Two P-mint Buffalo nickel with only minor
softness on the bison’s shoulder. Light blue and gold hues grace
pleasingly preserved surfaces. PCGS has graded only 14 coins finer
(4/10).(#3921)
459 1913-S Type Two MS62 PCGS. A luminous example of this
elusive first-year variant, well struck for the issue but with
significant weakness at the bison’s shoulder and the portrait’s
hair, as usually seen. Blue-violet and gold accents visit nickel-gray
surfaces. (#3923)
460 1913-S Type Two MS63 PCGS. The low mintage 1913-S Type
Two is affordable in Mint State despite its status as a popular
semikey. This minimally abraded example has cream-gray toning
with chestnut freckles. Typically struck from late-in-life dies, but
the mintmark is sharp.(#3923)
461 1914/3 AU50 NGC. FS-101. The “crossbar” looms large in
the background of the 4 in the date. A lightly worn, still-lustrous
example of this intriguing variety with peach-orange toning over
medium-gray surfaces. (#3924)
462 1914-D MS65 PCGS. A lustrous caramel-gold Gem of this elusive
second year branch mint issue. Marks are virtually absent, and the
minute carbon is difficult to locate save for a fleck near the tip of
the nose.(#3925)
463 1915 MS67 NGC. This sharply struck Superb Gem is attractively
toned in pastel apricot, ice-blue, and lime shades. No marks are
evident, and carbon is limited to a few pinpoint flecks near the
right obverse margin. Census: 9 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).

Desired 1916 Doubled Die Obverse
Buffalo Nickel, FS-101, Good 4
464 1916 Doubled Die Obverse Good 4 PCGS. FS-101. Actually this
much-desired Doubled Die Obverse Buffalo nickel key issue can
probably be discerned at the AG3 level, due to the doubling of the
obverse feathers, but here the crucial last digit 6 is clearly visible,
and clearly doubled in the dramatic fashion this variety is known
for. The tops of the 191 are visible as well, and this Good 4 coin
has no mentionable problems on the steel-gray surfaces, just the
extensive wear expected. A single scrape is noted atop the bison’s
head. (#3931)
465 1917-D MS65 NGC. Olive-green overall with hints of lavender
and rose toning. Well impressed for this early branch mint issue,
with the date and mintmark bold. Struck from noticeably rotated
dies. Census: 48 in 65, 7 finer (4/10).(#3935)
Amazing 1917-D Buffalo, MS65
466 1917-D MS65 PCGS. This Gem combines frosty luster, beautiful
toning, and sharp design details into an amazing package that any
collector would be pleased to own. Although shy of a full strike,
LIBERTY is separated from the border, and the Indian’s braid is
nicely defined. The highest points of the buffalo are illdefined as
usual. This piece has full luster with attractive gold and iridescent
toning. (#3935)
467 1917-S MS64 PCGS. Light golden-brown and stone-gray patina
graces this satiny and unmarked near-Gem. A minor retained
lamination on the forehead, and the centers show expected
incompleteness of strike. (#3936)

surfaces partly toned in rose and gold. (#3943)
Gem 1918-S Buffalo Nickel
A Major Strike and Condition Rarity
470 1918-S MS65 NGC. The 1918-S nickel is well known to the
legions of Buffalo nickel collectors as one of the major mintmarked
rarities of the series, one that is challenging both in terms of
condition and strike. This is a simply marvelous specimen that
exhibits glowing luster, partially a function of metal flow in the
fields from die fatigue. The strike is nonetheless sharp, with good
articulation on the date, the Indian’s braid, the bison’s shoulder,
and the horn. The obverse shows bold die clashing, the obverse in
the form of a “goatee” under the Indian’s chin from IN GOD WE
TRUST, as often seen in the series, and behind the Indian’s neck.
The surfaces are golden-gray with tinges of blue and pink in the
recesses. Census: 14 in 65, 2 finer (4/10). (#3940)
469 1918-S MS63 AN ACS. Light gold and tan overtones grace pale
gray surfaces with quicksilver luster. No trace of wear, though the
central details show typical striking softness. (#3940)
High-Grade 1918/7-D Nickel, AU55
468 1918/7-D AU55 NGC. FS-101. The “Mademoiselle from
Armentieres” was a popular song sung in the trenches during World
War I when this important overdate variety was struck. Therein lies
more than coincidence, perhaps.
Numismatists have long noted that many of the famous 20th
century overdates, produced from hubbing of a single working die
from two differently dated working hubs, were the product of the
wartime eras of either the First or Second World Wars. It may have
been that key Mint personnel were serving their nation in foreign
lands when those pieces were produced, and less-skillful workers
serving as replacements created the overdated die. David Lange also
mentions the possibility that the 1918/7-D could be an intentionally
produced variety, but that explanation seems less likely, as the first
example appeared in the numismatic press only 12 years later.
This example shows good remaining luster. It appears to be a
later striking as each side has heavy metal flow around the margins
as well as within the recess around the Native American’s eye and
temple region. The devices are softly defined, as usual, and the
soft gray patina has a few specks of carbon on each side. (#3939)

472 1919-S MS64 NGC. The 1919-S Buffalo nickel is a much-desired
semikey issue in the series. This near-Gem example shows the die
erosion that the issue is known for. A pebbly texture appears on
much of the obverse, and the tops of LIBERTY are wearing down
into the rim. The reverse die is fresher than the obverse, but there
is still little detail on the horn or the hair on the bison’s head.
Marks are absent, however, and the surfaces have quicksilver luster
with a light gold tinge. NGC has graded 32 specimens finer (4/10).
(#3943)
Lustrous Near-Gem 1919-S Nickel
473 1919-S MS64 PCGS. This is a virtually mark-free near-Gem
example of this difficult strike-challenged issue, with sparkling
luster over silver-gray surfaces. A loupe reveals glints of pinkish-
gold coloration on the obverse and a bit of strike softness on the first
two digits of the date, and the reverse shows more strike weakness
on the buffalo. There is considerable die erosion evident on both
sides that produces a pebbly texture. The absence of marks and
good luster over attractive surfaces raise this piece above the crowd.
PCGS has certified only 32 pieces finer (5/10). (#3943)
474 1924 MS66 PCGS Secure. Rose-gold overtones grace nickel-
gray surfaces with quicksilver luster. Well struck for the issue with
smooth surfaces, a pleasing Premium Gem. PCGS has certified four
numerically finer examples (4/10).(#3951)
475 1925-S MS63 PCGS. A typically struck example that has lovely
lavender and gold patina. The obverse is especially well preserved.
The fields have an ‘orange peel’ texture, as made due to the late
state of the dies.

476 1925-S MS63 PCGS. Cream-gray toning blankets this coruscating
and unabraded San Francisco nickel. The reverse border displays
moderate die erosion, but the mintmark is unmistakable, and only
the centers show noticeable incompleteness.(#3956)
477 1926-D MS65 NGC. The 1926-D Buffalo nickel stands out
in the series, usually for the wrong reasons as the most notable
strike rarity. This piece boasts a wonderful strike for the issue,
however, with a split tail, appropriately shaggy ruminant, and
adequate detailing on the obverse. Both sides feature a thick layer
of iridescent patina, largely golden-pink, but considerable luster
shines forth nonetheless. Census: 27 in 65, 11 finer (4/10). (#3958)
Extraordinary Gem 1927-D Buffalo Nickel
478 1927-D MS65 PCGS. CAC. An extraordinary specimen, with
strong luster on both sides and no significant abrasions or specks.
The strike is sharp on the Indian and bison, except for the hair over
the bison’s forehead. Even the peripheral lettering is much sharper
than usual. The surfaces are bathed in pastel rose, violet-blue, and
golden-yellow patina. The reverse die is rotated about 45 degrees
counterclockwise. Population: 49 in 65, 3 finer (4/10).

Rare 1936-D Nickel, 3 1/2 Legs
Choice Fine, FS-901

polished off of the die, as on the more famous (and less rare) 1937'
D Three-Legged Buffalo nickel. This is an elusive error that is
much in demand by series specialists. The present piece shows
about the same amount of missing detail as the coin illustrated in
the Cherrypickers’ Guide, volume one. This piece has golden-gray
surfaces with no major distractions, save for a single straight scrape
through the bison’s left foreleg that travels just in front of the error
area and on to the exergual line. (#93978)

polishing in 1937. This specimen has light wear on the high points
of its sharply struck obverse and reverse.(#3982)
482 1937-D Three-Legged AU5 8 PCGS. FS-901 . Light orange patina
covers much of this scarcely worn Three-Legged nickel. Each side
is well-defined for the variety and strongly lustrous. On the reverse,
only the bison’s shoulder shows characteristic softness.(#3982)
483 1937-D Three-Legged AU58 NGC. FS-901. Light to medium
steel-blue and chestnut-gold toning visits this satiny and minimally
abraded Borderline Uncirculated key date nickel. The rough-hewn
back leg is diagnostic, as is the series of minute die lumps below the
bison’s flank.(#3982)
484 1937-D Three-Legged AU58 NGC. FS-901. Just a touch of
friction separates this still-lustrous Three-Legged nickel from a
Mint State grade. Nickel-gray and peach-orange colors blend on
this piece, with a measure of streaky separation noted in the field
close to the portrait’s chin.(#3982)
ADDITIONAL PROOF BUFFALO NICKELS
485 1914 PR64 NGC. Boldly impressed with gold-gray and orange
toning over richly textured surfaces. Small disturbances combine to
account for the grade, though the eye appeal is strong.(#3991)
486 1915 PR64 NGC. This sharply detailed matte proof has pleasing
fine-grained surfaces with intermingled gold, violet, and iridescent
toning on both sides. Technically finer but the grade is limited by a
slight lack of eye appeal.(#3992)
487 1936 Type Two — Brilliant Finish PR65 PCGS. An essentially
untoned Gem that possesses the intricate strike and flashy field
reflectivity customary for this popular proof date. Both satin proofs
and brilliant proofs were coined in 1936, and the brilliant proof
carries a strong premium in higher grades relative to its satin
predecessor. (#3995)

The surfaces are bright throughout and deeply mirrored with lovely
ice-blue and rose toning intermixed over each side. As one would
expect, the striking details are fully brought up. (#3996)
JEFFERSON NICKELS
Doubled Die Reverse 1945-P Nickel, MS66
493 1945-P Doubled Die Reverse MS66 PCGS. FS-801. Strong die
doubling to the south is noted on the lower reverse legends. An
impressive Guide Book variety. Pastel lime-green, almond-gold, and
powder-blue toning enriches this lustrous example. The obverse
appears immaculate, and the upper reverse field has only moderate
contact. Population: 10 in 66, 0 finer (4/10). (#4173)
494 1983-D MS66 Full Steps PCGS. This intricately struck and
satiny Premium Gem has minimal contact and barely a whisper of
gold toning. A prize for the Registry Set enthusiast. Population: 12
in 66 Full Steps, 0 finer (4/10).(#84111)
SMS JEFFERSON NICKEL
Visually Impressive 1967 SMS Nickel
MS68 Ultra Cameo
495 1967 SMS MS68 Ultra Cameo NGC. Final year of the Special
Mint Set non-proofs, this piece certainly has the look of a full
proof striking. The fields are deeply reflective on each side, and
the devices show thick, contrasting mint frost, the combination
of which gives this piece its Ultra Cameo appearance. The coin
is brilliant throughout and there are no obvious contact marks.
Census: 6 in 68 Ultra Cameo, 0 finer (4/10). (#94199)

EARLY HALF DIMES
Historic 1792 Half Disme, Judd-7, Good 6
496 1792 Half Disme, Judd-7, Pollock-7, R.4, Good 6 PCGS.
Our nation’s first coin, the 1792 half disme, is highly desirable
in any grade. Rumors abound about these coins, although today
all we really know is that they were produced in late 1792,
before the physical Philadelphia Mint building was ready for
occupancy. For many years these half dismes were considered
pattern issues, and even today they are still identified by their
Judd and Pollock attribution numbers. Enough pieces survive,
and nearly always in circulated grades, that there is no doubt
they circulated as money in the 1790s.
When Alexander Hamilton set the stage for a national coinage
with his 1790 report to Congress, he failed to mention a half dime
or five cent piece. However, Congress added that denomination
in their April 1792 Coinage Act, and the silver five cent coins
remained in production with few intermissions until 1873.
This piece is a wonderful example with pleasing pewter-gray
surfaces. Liberty is fully outlined and the obverse legends are
complete, with partial border details. The reverse is weaker,
and the eagle is missing its entire right wing, almost as if flying
out of a cloud. Most of the reverse lettering is visible. Although
critical, microscopic examination will reveal a number of faint
scratches and tiny surface marks, the aesthetic desirability is
excellent. Here is a wonderful opportunity for the history-
minded numismatist to acquire one of these delightful coins.

Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 109
499 1795 AU58 PCGS. CAC. V-4, LM-10, R.3. There is an outer
berry beneath U(NITED), while on the obverse star 1 touches
the second-lowest hair curl. Star 15 touches the bust. The digits 1
and 5 touch a curl and the bust, respectively. This is an interesting
coin, first off in that the reverse die is rotated almost 90 degrees
clockwise with respect to the obverse. Secondly, the left'Side stars
3'8 on the obverse are effaced or nearly so, due both to heavy die'
adjustment marks and an apparent axial die misalignment, so that
the right'Side stars are welbstruck. A heavy retained rim cud has
formed above TY and star 9. Most of the original luster remains on
this piece, with a couple of small die cracks and some minor scrapes
on the lower bust. (#4251)
504 1837 No Stars, Large Date (Curl Top 1) MS66 NGC. An early
die state that shows repunching beneath the date. Beautifully toned
in golden'brown, plum'red, and apple'green, interspersed with
glimpses of stone'gray. Lustrous and well struck with an unabraded
appearance. A briefly coined design subtype, since stars were added
to the obverse in 1838. (#4311)
Prized 1794 Half Dime, V-l, LM-1
R.6, Sharpness of AU
Pleasing 1800 LIBERTY Half Dime, LM-3, V-2, XF40
502 1831 MS64 NGC. V-l, LM-6, R.l. A colorful nean-Gem
example of this accessible die pair, richly lustrous beneath swirls
of gold, orange, and blue patina. Well struck and highly appealing.
(#4278)
497 1794—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. V-l, LM'l,
R.6. The wide date is close to the border on this very rare firsnyear
half dime variant. Star 8 is recut and far from the L in LIBERTY.
On the reverse, a leaf is joined solidly to the last A in AMERICA.
This coin was likely cleaned long ago, but it offers many charms.
Silver-white centers cede to rose, cobalt'blue, and mint'green
rings near the rims, and a pleasing wealth of detail is present, as
one would expect from the AU Details grade. Adjustment marks
close to the lower obverse rim are minor, and a few scattered marks
on the obverse are unbothersome. A prize for the early half dime
specialists. (#4250)
500 1800 LIBERTY XF40 ANACS. LM-3, V-2, R.4. The top of the
R in LIBERTY is broken and resembles a K. The reverse has a small
berry below the right base of the final A. Those two diagnostics
identify the variety. A flat area just left of center on the reverse is a
characteristic of late die state die damage. This pleasing specimen
has strong details for the grade with a few faint scratches that are
typical of a lightly circulated coin that is more than 200 years old.
Both sides have pleasing blue, gray, and iridescent toning. (#4265)
BUST HALF DIMES
Very Fine 1795 Half Dime, V-5, LM-8
501
1830 MS64 NGC. V-7, LM-7, R.2. Crisply detailed with watery
green'gold toning at parts of the margins. This neanGem is light
silver'gray otherwise. The reverse shows a couple of shallow
pinscratches around the eagle’s head.(#4277)
498 1795 VF20 PCGS. V-5, LM-8, R.3. This Flowing Hair half dime
is awash in tamgold, ocean'blue, and slate'gray toning. A mint'
made vertical adjustment mark rests in Liberty’s hair, but no post'
strike contact is consequential. The eye appeal is excellent for this
very scarce two year design type, struck while George Washington
served as President. (#4251)
Lustrous 1795 Half Dime, V-4, LM-10, AU58
503 1835 Small Date, Large 5C MS65 NGC. V-5, LM'8, R.2. Sum
gold toning is predominant, although the devices are cream'gray and
the left obverse field displays sky'blue. The strike is excellent, and
both sides are immaculate aside from a single inconspicuous mark
between the left (facing) wing and the scroll end.(#4284)

1839 No Drapery Half Dime, MS66
505 1839 No Drapery MS66 NGC. Variety 2. Repunching is seen
on the last two digits, but most notably on the upper part of the
9. While A1 Blythe considered the 1839 a “common date” it is
certainly not common in the better grades of Uncirculated. Only
20 pieces have been so graded by NGC, with seven finer (5/10).
This is a fully struck example whose frosted surfaces are covered
with slight reddish patina. An excellent opportunity to acquire this
early date as a type coin. (#4319)
506 1840 Drapery MS62 PCGS. CAC. An important variety, the
1840 With Drapery half dime is seldom seen in Mint State grades.
This piece has rich blue, russet, and iridescent toning over satin
luster. Population: 7 in 62, 33 finer (4/10).(#4326)
507 1843 MS66 NGC. Brightly lustrous with a generally silver obverse
and occasional hints of sky-blue on the reverse. This delightful
Premium Gem is sure to impress collectors of early Seated coinage.
Census: 10 in 66, 1 finer (4/10). (#433 2)
508 1848 Medium Date MS64 PCGS. CAC. Both sides of this Choice
Mint State piece are fully lustrous with frosty mint surfaces beneath
gold and iridescent toning. This issue is seldom encountered in
higher Mint State grades, and is highly desirable at this numerical
level. Population: 9 in 64, 3 finer (4/10).(#4338)
Amazing 1853-0 With Arrows Half Dime, MS66
509 1853-0 Arrows MS66 NGC. The initial New Orleans half
dimes coined in 1853 were from dies intended for the old tenor
coins before the weight reduction. Dies had already been sent to
New Orleans and that facility began striking coins that have since
become rarities. Meanwhile, new dies were sent with the modified
Arrows design, and the 1853-0 With Arrows half dimes were
produced. About 2.2 million of them were struck. This survivor,
one of the finest that still exists, has a kaleidoscope of blue, green,
russet, and gold toning over ivory surfaces. Census: 2 in 66, 0 finer
(4/10). (#4357)
510 1861/0 MS64 PCGS. CAC. FS-301. The popular and intriguing
Guide Book variety. Frosty surfaces are minimally toned. A rim flaw
above the second T in STATES is the sole individually mentionable
abrasion. (#4380)
511 1862 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Brightly lustrous with scant evidence of
toning save for hints of blue and apricot color. A well struck Gem
example of this Civil War-era issue, housed in a green label holder.
PCGS has graded 57 finer pieces (4/10).(#4381)
PROOF SEATED HALF DIMES
Deeply Reflective 1859 Half Dime, PR66
512 1859 PR66 NGC. The 1859 is the last official With Stars proof
half dime issue, offered here as an exquisite Premium Gem. Each
side offers excellent detail and reflectivity. The surfaces range from
gold-orange at the left to pale cloud-gray at the right, with the
latter color more dominant on the reverse. Census: 16 in 66, 8 finer
(4/10). (#4438)
513 1864 PR65 NGC. Satiny and fully struck with milky almond-gold
toning. A powerful loupe reveals pinpoint strike-throughs, as made.
This Civil War date has a proof mintage of just 470 pieces. Census:
20 in 65, 15 finer (4/10).(#4447)
514 1873 PR66 Cameo PCGS. This Premium Gem displays
outstanding cameo contrast, as the frosted design elements appear
to ride over deep watery fields. The strike is impressive, with no
hints of weakness on any of the design elements. A faint linear
mark on Liberty’s left shoulder, and another on the left knee, may
help to identify the coin. Population: 3 in 66 Cameo, 1 finer (4/10).
(#84456)
EARLY DIMES
Charming JR-2 1797 13 Stars Dime, VG10
515 1797 13 Stars VG10 PCGS. JR-2, R.4. The sole use of the 13
Stars obverse, paired with the date’s common reverse. Both this and
the 16 Stars type are Guide Book varieties and very scarce regardless
of grade, a surefire recipe for demand to outstrip supply. This near-
Fine example has pleasing outlines of the devices, particularly on
the obverse, and few singularly mentionable marks. Peach-gray
surfaces show glimpses of blue and lavender at various angles.
Population: 5 in 10, 15 finer (4/10). (#4463)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT
111
Colorful 1798 JR-4 Dime, AU55
516 1798 Large 8 AU55 ANACS. JR-4, R.3. Five berries on the
reverse branch identifies this Normal Date variety. The obverse
has a heavy die crack from the Y to Liberty’s nose. An additional
crack enters the field from the chin. Other faint obverse cracks are
evident. The reverse has a break from the second feather to the left
rim, nearly as wide as the feather. Minor rim crumbling is evident
over S OF. Both sides have intermingled blue, russet, violet, and
gold with underlying satin luster. The stars at the left side of the
obverse are weak, opposite fine adjustment marks on the reverse.
The balance of the design work on both sides is sharp. (#4466)
Choice AU 1802 Dime, JR-4
Second Finest Certified by NGC
517 1802 AU55 NGC. JR-4, R.4. Light golden-brown and dove-
gray patina drapes this high-grade Draped Bust dime. Noticeable
luster glows from the legends and devices, and striking weakness
in the centers is characteristic for the type. Minor rim marks are
present at 5 o’clock on each side. The low mintage of 10,985 pieces
is divided between four very scarce to rare die marriages. JR-4 is
recognized by the placement of star 8, further from the Y than on
any other variety of the date. Another diagnostic is the lowest
reverse star, which touches both tips of the eagle’s beak. Just three
other examples of this date have been graded as AU55 by NGC,
and only one of those three pieces has been specifically identified as
an example of the JR-4 variety. Across all four varieties of this date,
NGC has graded a mere five coins finer, as of (4/10). (#4472)
518 1805 4 Berries Fine 12 PCGS. JR-2, R.2. This slate gray Heraldic
Eagle type coin has pleasing definition on the hair and wings.
All letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM are at least partly present.
Refreshingly unabraded, although faint mint-made roller marks
cross the reverse and the field is granular near the 5 in the date.

Beautiful 1807 JR-1 Dime, MS65
519 1807 MS65 NGC. JR-1, R.2. Even though 165,000 dimes were
minted in 1807, JR-1 is the only die pairing utilized for the year.
In addition, the reverse die served double duty in the production
of both dimes and quarter eagles. As a result, nearly all 1807 dimes
are struck from advanced die states, with a heavily clashed obverse
that shows obvious peripheral weakness on the left side, often
carrying over to a couple of the stars on the right. This lovely Gem
representative has not escaped these deficiencies, but excels in all
other areas. Full, original mint bloom is seen over both sides and a
crescent of blue and golden toning accents the lower portion of the
obverse. Census: 13 in 65, 3 finer (4/10). (#4480)
BUST DIMES
520 1814 Small Date MS64 NGC. JR-1, R.3. Luster shimmers
throughout this autumn-gold and ocean-blue Capped Bust dime.
The right side stars are softly brought up, but the remainder of
the design is bold. Smooth aside from minor contact on the fields
near UNITED and Liberty’s nose. Census: 10 in 64, 6 finer (4/10).
(#4489)
Interesting Near-Gem 1830 Medium IOC Dime
JR-3, With Extensive Die Cracks
521 1830 Medium IOC MS64 PCGS. JR-3, R.3. If other diagnostics
were needed besides the extensive die cracks on both sides, we
cite the position of the 0 in the date about halfway under the
lowest curl, the nearness of stars 4 and 5, and recut 30. The obverse
die appears quite close to failure at star 7, where branching die
cracks have produced a small raised triangle just in front of the
cap. Extensive other cracks visible in the photos cover several areas
around the peripheries on both sides. This piece has lots of luster,
with silver-white centers ceding to light golden-pink near the rims.
The strike is excellent, and only a couple of faint scrapes on Liberty
appear to preclude an even finer grade. Population: 23 in 64, 19
finer (4/10). (#4516)
1835 Capped Bust Dime, JR-5, MS64
Sharply Struck, Attractively Toned
522 1835 MS64 NGC. JR-5, R.l. The 1835 Capped Bust dime
boasts a series-high reported mintage of 1.4 million pieces, with
nine known varieties. The present coin is an example of the JR-5
variety, with the straight flag on the 5 in the date. This specimen is
delightfully toned in shades of blue, green and golden-brown, with
sharp striking details. Census: 80 in 64, 25 finer (4/10). (#4527)
SEATED DIMES
523 1838-0 No Stars XF45 PCGS. The 1838-0 is the last stand
of the briefly coined No Stars subtype, the first of many changes
the design would experience during its 55-year run. The 1838-0
is scarce, and popular since it was among the earliest issues struck
at New Orleans. This is a cream-gray and steel-blue piece with
noticeable luster and occasional minor and inconspicuous field
marks. (#4564)
524 1841-0 MS62 NGC. Open Bud Reverse. Small O. Despite a
plentiful mintage, no contemporary regard was given in the South
to saving examples, and the 1841-0 dime is a rarity in Mint State.
Census: 5 in 62, 13 finer (4/10).(#4580)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT
113
Important 1843-0 Seated Dime, AU53
525 1843-0 AU53 PCGS. The 1843-0 Seated dime, despite a
mintage of 150,000 coins, is one of the important rarities in the
series, seldom found in any grade. Consider that NGC and PCGS,
combined, have only certified seven coins in AU or better: MS65,
MS62, AU58 (2), AU53 (3). In January 1999, we offered an AU58
example of this issue, the only piece grading better than XF that we
have offered in any of our sales since 1993.
We can not emphasize enough how rare and important this
piece is, and further, it is an extremely attractive example for the
grade. Both sides are sharply detailed with delicate gold toning over
lustrous silver surfaces. Population: 2 in 53, 2 finer (4/10). (#4584)
526 1853 No Arrows MS65 NGC. Faint glimpses of peach-gold color
grace frosty silver surfaces. This No Arrows Gem hails from a low-
mintage issue made even more elusive by melting in the wake of
the silver weight adjustment of the same year. Census: 17 in 65, 15
finer (4/10).(#4599)
527 1853 Arrows MS64 PCGS. Housed in an early PCGS holder,
this Choice Mint State 1853 Arrows dime is a splendid specimen
with exceptional surfaces and luster beneath deep sea-green and
iridescent toning on both sides that creates outstanding aesthetic
desirability. All of the design elements on each side are boldly
rendered. (#4603)
528 1856 Small Date MS64 PCGS. Rich tan-brown and sunset-gold
colors enrich the peripheries of this moderately lustrous near-Gem.
Well-preserved and attractive with only a couple of readily visible
marks. Population: 23 in 64, 25 finer (4/10).(#4609)
529 1856 Small Date MS65 PCGS Secure. Although the upper
obverse and lower reverse show design weakness, this is an
exceptional Gem with lustrous mint frost beneath light gold
toning. Minor clash marks are limited to the reverse field. Here is
an important opportunity for the advanced Seated dime specialist.
Population: 20 in 65, 5 finer (4/10).(#4609)
530 1857 MS64 NGC. Deep forest-green, rose-red, and golden-brown
toning consumes this satiny and unabraded near-Gem. An original
and exceptional example of this conditionally scarce issue. Housed
in a former generation holder.(#4614)
531 1860-0 VG8 PCGS. CAC. New Orleans struck Legend Obverse
dimes only for the first and final years of the type, 1860 and 1891.
The 1860-0 is very scarce, since only 40,000 pieces were struck,
none of which have been certified as Mint State by PCGS. A
stone-gray example with a readable LIBERTY and one thin mark
above the I in DIME. (#463 2)
532 1861 MS65 PCGS. This satiny and sharply struck Gem is fully
patinated in lime-green, cherry-red, and sun-gold shades. The strike
is unimprovable, and no marks are consequential. Population: 29 in
65, 4 finer (4/10).(#4633)
533 1861 MS65 NGC. Russet-brown and apple-green patina dominates
the borders, although the centers are only lightly toned. Lustrous
and well struck with an unabraded appearance. Clashmarks outline
portions of the seated Liberty. Census: 20 in 65, 13 finer (4/10).
(#4633)
534 1862 MS66 PCGS. Delicate canary-yellow and tan shadings
visit parts of the otherwise soft silver-gray surfaces. A well struck
and attractive Premium Gem example of this Civil War-era issue.
Population: 13 in 66, 2 finer (4/10).(#4635)
Stunning 1867 Seated Dime, MS66
535 1867 MS66 PCGS. Fortin-102. An incredible Seated dime rarity
from a mintage of only 6,000 business strikes and 625 proofs, this
Premium Gem is housed in a green label PCGS holder. Three
different die combinations are identified for the date, and Fortin-102
with its heavy clash marks is considered a true business strike.
This beautiful Premium Gem has fully mirrored fields and frosty
devices with light gold peripheries around brilliant silver centers.
It is a stunning representative for the Seated dime specialist who
understands the rarity of high grade business strikes. Population: 7
in 66, 2 finer (4/10). (#4645)
536 1872-CC VG8 PCGS. CAC. A key issue in the Seated Liberty
series, this 1872-CC dime has faint lilac toning over light gray
surfaces. Both sides have the usual minor abrasions and faint
scratches that accumulated during its time in circulation. The
obverse is typically sharper than the reverse, with every letter in
LIBERTY visible. (#4657)
Extraordinary 1873 Closed 3, No Arrows Dime, MS66
Doubled Date, FS-301, Fortin-103
537 1873 Closed 3, No Arrows MS66 NGC. FS-301, Fortin-103.
Doubled Date. The date doubling is extremely sharp to the left of
the final position. This important and dramatic variety is recorded
in Top 100 Varieties at Gerry Fortin’s website, seateddimevarieties.
com. This piece appears to be only the second Mint State example
of the variety that we have offered, and it is an exceptional Premium
Gem. The surfaces are highly lustrous and fully brilliant with
delicate gold toning. This example is the only representative of the
doubled date variety that NGC has identified. For all varieties, they
have graded four in MS66 and one finer MS67. (#4659)

Tied for the Finest Certified
Extraordinary MS67 ★ 1879 Dime
543 1880 MS67 ★ NGC. The second 8 shows slight signs of recutting.
Here is an amazing Superb Gem 1880 dime with mostly brilliant
and fully prooflike surfaces. A trace of gold toning is limited to the
upper obverse border. Both sides have extraordinary cameo contrast
with frosty devices and fully mirrored fields. The NGC high grade
Census includes 11 pieces graded MS67, one graded MS67 ★, one
graded MS68, and three graded MS68 ★ (4/10). (#4688)
539
1874-CC Arrows Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in
.97 suggests Environmental Damage as the reason, or perhaps one
of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our
opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen that has light
surface roughness. Both sides are deeply toned with gray and ebony
patina, slightly lighter on the devices. The 1874-CC is the premier
rarity in the Carson City dime series, and is seldom encountered in
any grade. Here is a remarkably well detailed example that retains
an attractive appearance despite its shortcomings. (#4669)
541 1880 MS65 PCGS. A gorgeous toned Gem with frosty central
surfaces inside a reflective frame near the borders. Both sides
have light gold, gradually changing to lovely russet, blue, and
green peripheral toning. Population: 24 in 65, 29 finer (4/10).
(#4688)
542 1880 MS66 Prooflike NGC. Fortin-103, R.5. A die chip on
the M in DIME is diagnostic. Dramatically toned in swaths of
cherry-red, sea-green, and orange-gold throughout the obverse. The
reverse is straw-gold with peripheral aquamarine and russet patina.
Flashy and unabraded. As of (5/10), NGC has certified only two
examples as Prooflike. Only 36,000 business strikes were issued.
(#4688)
Amazing 1880 Seated Dime, MS67 ★
538 1873 Arrows MS66 PCGS. The 1873 Arrows dime is the first
year of an important two-year design type, and the piece offered
here is tied for the finest that NGC or PCGS have certified. Each
service has graded four examples in MS66 (4/10). This incredible
Premium Gem has deep blue, russet, and violet toning with satiny
and slightly reflective surfaces. (#4665)
Remarkable 1874-CC Dime
540 1879 MS67 ★ NGC. The 1879 dime had a very low mintage
of circulation strikes, only 14,000 were produced, and as a result
many show bright prooflike fields. When closely inspected one
sees just a hint of mint luster in the otherwise reflective fields, but
many would mistake this for a proof at first glance. The surfaces are
brilliant throughout and the strike is well brought up on each side.
There are a couple of small coin-to-coin contact marks on each
side that further reinforce the business strike status of this piece.
Extraordinary quality overall. Census: 8 in 67 ★, 3 finer (4/10).

544 1885-S XF40 PCGS. Medium-gray surfaces show gold overtones
and a few dots of charcoal at the right obverse border. This lower-
mintage late Seated dime issue was little-saved, like many of its San
Francisco brethren, and even circulated coins are rarities above the
VF levels. Population: 5 in 40, 24 finer (4/10). (#4695)
Key 1885-S Seated Dime, AU50
545 1885-S AU50 NGC. Even though the 1885-S Seated dime was
produced to the extent of only 43,690 coins, it is a series key that
is far rarer than that figure would indicate. Series collectors avidly
seek nice, problem-free examples when they come up at auction.
Both sides of this AU example display darker gray patina, with good
strike details. A couple of minor scrapes appear beneath the second
8 of the date.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (912007), lot 975, which realized $3,220.
(#4695)
546 1886 MS66 NGC. CAC. Gold and blue-green colors prevail on
this later Seated dime, brightly lustrous beneath the patina. Liberty’s
head shows striking softness but the rest of the coin is relatively
well-defined. Census: 52 in 66, 10 finer (4/10).(#4696)
547 1887 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Sea-green and golden-tan toning
encompasses this lustrous and mark-free Gem. Nicely struck from
moderately clashed dies. A splendid Seated type coin. Population:

548 1887 MS66 PCGS. CAC. This iridescent toned Premium Gem is

549 1887 MS67 PCGS. CAC. This splendid Superb Gem is one of the
few finest from the prodigious mintage of more than 11.2 million
pieces. Light pinkish-gold patina prevails nears the rims on each
side, while the reverse adds glints of ice-blue and jade to the mix. A
network of interesting small die cracks appears at the lower obverse.
Population: 3 in 67, 0 finer (4/10). (#4698)
550 1889-S MS63 PCGS. CAC. Well struck with surprisingly silver-
white surfaces that show occasional cloud-gray toning. Scattered
wispy marks contribute to the Select grade. Population: 11 in 63,
17 finer (4/10).(#4703)
551 1891 MS66 NGC. CAC. Sea-green and honey-gold shadings
grace this lustrous and well-preserved Premium Gem. A solid

PROOF SEATED DIMES
1855 Dime, PR64
Only 12-15 Proofs Believed Known
552 1855 Arrows PR64 PCGS. Doubled Date. The proof dies show
distinctive hub doubling on the right side of each digit in the
date, as well as on stars 11 to 13. This same obverse die was also
used for some business strikes, Fortin’s Variety 101a. He estimates
that only 12 to 15 proofs are still extant in all grades, but does not
hazard a guess what the original production run was. The fields
display bright mirroring beneath medium-density gray-purple and
yellowish toning. We do not see the hairlines that would account
for the PR64 grade, but the toning may obscure them. If they
are present, they are certainly light. Housed in a first-generation
PCGS holder. The proof dimes in this consignment are all in first
or second-generation holders and all were purchased from the early
1970s to the mid-1980s.
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes . (#4744)
Rarely Offered 1856 Dime, PR63
553 1856 PR63 PCGS* Small Date. The obverse devices are doubled,
as noted by Breen (1977). How many proofs were struck is an open
question, perhaps as many as 100 pieces. The number extant is also
unknown, but it is believed that between 35 and 50 examples may
exist today in all grades. Each side of this piece has variegated blue,
violet, and gray-rose toning but the underlying proof mirrors are
still apparent. There are no obvious contact marks on each side,
just a few light hairlines that account for the grade. There are,
however, a series of as-struck die striations in the lower and left
obverse field. Population: 7 in 63, 8 finer (4/10).
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes . (#4745)
554 1858 PR62 PCGS. Lightly toned and fully struck with two patches
of hairlines on the seated Liberty. 1858 was the first year that proofs
were sold by the Mint to the general public. The exact mintage is
unknown, but the Guide Book estimates 300+ pieces. Encapsulated
in a first generation holder.
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes. (# 4747)
1858 Dime, PR64
Low Mintage, Early Proof Issue
555 1858 PR64 NGC. All 1858 proof dimes were struck from one die
pair. The obverse shows a downward slanting date, and the reverse
has a prominent die scratch from the upper right corner of the left
part of the A in AMERICA to the rim. Breen estimated that 80
proofs were struck but this may be on the low side as 124 pieces
have been certified by NGC and PCGS combined. This would be
more than 80 pieces even when resubmissions and crossovers are
factored out. The surfaces on this piece are deeply reflective, and
each side has pale blue toning with an accent of rose around the
margins. None of the small contact marks in the fields are worthy
of individual note. Census: 21 in 64, 28 finer (4/10). (#4747)

1859 With Stars Dime, PR65 Cameo
Final Year of the Type
556 1859 PR65 Cameo PCGS. The 1859 is the final proof issue of
the Stars Obverse Seated dime design. It is also the most readily
obtainable proof of this underappreciated type with a reported
mintage of 800 pieces. High grade specimens, particularly those
with a degree of contrast, are genuinely scarce. This example is
nicely toned in a variety of iridescent hues that tend to lighten over
the major devices. Strong reflectivity lurks beneath the toning.
Population: 3 in 65 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10). (#84748)
Cameo PR67 ★ 1859 Dime
557 1859 PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. Golden-brown, ruby-red, and blue-
green toning form concentric bands near the obverse margin.
The reverse exhibits dappled lavender patina. Nicely struck and
blatantly mirrored with exemplary frost on the seated Liberty.
Just 800 proofs were issued. Census: 2 in 67 ★ Cameo, none finer
(4/10). (#84748)
Exceptional PR66 1860 Dime
558 1860 PR66 PCGS. A satiny and needle-sharp Premium Gem that
displays light to medium autumn-gold toning that deepens slightly
at the margins. Although 1,000 proofs were struck, a sizeable
portion of that emission was melted as unsold by the Mint. Housed
in a first generation holder. Population: 13 in 66, 6 finer (4/10).
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes . (#4753)
559 1861 PR64 PCGS. An untoned Choice proof with nicely frosted
motifs and unblemished reflective fields. Much scarcer than
suggested by its proof mintage of 1,000 pieces, since unsold examples
were melted. Housed in a first generation holder. Population: 24 in
64, 17 finer (4/10).
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4754)
560 1862 PR64 PCGS. The obverse is lightly toned aside from a right-
side arc of deep green-gray. The reverse has various dusky shades of
golden-tan and apple-green. A mere 550 proofs were coined for this
Civil War date. Encased in a first generation holder. Population: 31
in 64, 5 finer (4/10).
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes .(#4755)
561 1864 PR64 PCGS. Light tan toning visits this sharply struck near-
Gem. Both major devices are icy, but undesignated as Cameo due
to the first generation holder. This Civil War date has a tiny proof
mintage of 470 pieces. Population: 38 in 64, 20 finer (4/10).

Impressive 1864 Seated Dime, PR67
562 1864 PR67 NGC. Caramel-gold, plum-red, and lime-green toning
enriches this flashy and intricately struck Superb Gem. This Civil
War date has a proof mintage of only 470 pieces, and the associated
business strikes were limited to 11,000 pieces. Census: 6 in 67, 0

From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4759)
564 1867 PR64 PCGS. The base of the 18 is lightly repunched.
Lightly toned with icy devices and glassy fields. Certainly worthy
of a Cameo designation, but it is encapsulated in a first generation
holder. A low proof mintage of 625 pieces ensures the scarcity.
Population: 37 in 64, 11 finer (4/10).

fully brilliant silver surfaces with frosty devices and mirrored fields.
Census: 5 in 65 Cameo, 7 finer (4/10).(#84760)

Blazing Fully Struck 1869 Dime
PR65 Ultra Cameo
569 1869 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. This is a blazing silver-white
Gem with profound contrast between the fields and devices, with
just the faintest suggestion of golden hue on either side. The strike
is full, increasing the strong eye appeal. Note the first S in STATES,
which has the top serif disconnected from the remainder of the
letter, and the die file marks above AT to the rim that Breen cites
in his Proof Encyclopedia. Census: 2 in 65 Ultra Cameo, 0 finer
(4/10). (#94762)
570 1871 PR65 NGC. Intensely toned blue and orange with
considerable contrast, though the prior-generation holder does not
note any level of Cameo status. Sharply detailed and attractive.
Census: 17 in 65, 15 finer (4/10).(#4764)
571 1873 No Arrows, Closed 3 PR64 PCGS. Delicate almond-gold
toning deepens slightly at the rims. A nicely mirrored and boldly
struck near-Gem. Scarcer than implied by its mintage of 1,100
pieces. Certified in a first generation holder. Population: 46 in 64,
21 finer (4/10).
From The A LG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4766)
572 1874 Arrows PR63 PCGS. Peach-gold toning is prominent
throughout the borders, although the centers are toned. Flashy
field contrast with icy devices, however, the first generation holder
preceded the Cameo designation. The Arrows, Legend Obverse
subtype was only coined for two years, with a combined proof
mintage of just 1,500 pieces.
From The A LG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4770)
573 1878 PR64 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. A flashy proof with
dramatic navy-blue, plum-red, and peach-gold toning on the
reverse. The obverse offers dappled pastel aqua, lilac, and tan
shades. Just 800 proofs were struck. Certified in a first generation
holder. Population: 36 in 64, 20 finer (4/10).
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes .(#4775)
574 1879 PR64 PCGS. The centers are only faintly toned, but the

mintage date due to large-scale Morgan dollar coinage. In a first
generation holder.
From The A LG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#47 76)
575 1881 PR65 PCGS. Rich golden-brown, cobalt-blue, and ruby-
red embrace the reverse of this nicely struck Gem. The obverse
is untoned save for a peripheral band of fire-red and jade-green.

margins. An attractive Premium Gem proof for the discerning type
collector.(#4778)
577 1881 PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The devices and legends are
thickly frosted, particularly on the reverse. This flashy Gem exhibits
golden-brown and ocean-blue borders, but most of the coin remains
untoned. A few faint hairlines near the R in AMERICA decide the
grade. Population: 4 in 65 Cameo, 11 finer (4/10).(#84778)
578 1882 PR64 PCGS. The fields and devices offer only a hint of
caramel-gold toning, although the margins display faint tobacco-

devices and flashy fields. Certified in a first generation holder.
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4779)
579 1882 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. An absolutely amazing example,
this Premium Gem Ultra Cameo proof is fully brilliant with white-

fields are deeply mirrored. It is difficult to imagine a finer example.
Here is a wonderful coin for the connoisseur.(#94779)
Partially Toned 1883 Dime, PR66
580 1883 PR66 PCGS. Even though more than 7.6 million circulation
strike dimes were produced in 1883, only 1,039 proofs were minted.
The obverse of this piece is dazzling and deeply mirrored with a
swath of deeper blue and golden toning at the bottom. The reverse,
on the other hand, is muted and the coin must be tilted just so
beneath a light for the mirrored fields to flash. This lovely, high-
grade example is housed in a first-generation holder. Population: 27
in 66, 9 finer (4/10).
From The A LG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4780)
581 1885 PR64 PCGS. Rose-red toning ispredominant but cedes to straw-

Only 930 proofs were struck. Encased in a first generation holder.
From The A LG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4782)
582 1885 PR65 PCGS. CAC. This Gem proof is a stunning example
with cameo contrast visible beneath the vibrant blue, violet, and
russet toning that covers nearly all of the obverse and reverse
surfaces. The strike is bold and the eye appeal is great. Population:
50 in 65, 37 finer (4/10).(#4782)
583 1886 PR64 PCGS. A satiny and well struck proof Seated dime
with untoned centers and light gold patina near the rims. Cameo
frost is substantial, especially on the reverse, although no such
designation is present due to the first generation PCGS holder.
Only 886 proofs were produced.
From The ALG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4783)
584 1887 PR65 PCGS. Ice-white devices contrast with glassyfields. Light
autumn-gold and aquamarine toning graces the margins, but the first

Flashy PR67 Cameo 1889 Dime
587 1889 PR67 Cameo NGC. Outstanding quality and eye appeal
for this later proof Seated dime date. Overtly if not thickly
frosted devices stand out from powerfully mirrored fields, creating
undeniable contrast. Minimally toned with a single tiny planchet
flake to the left of Liberty that could serve as a pedigree marker.
Census: 4 in 67 Cameo, 1 finer (4/10). (#84786)
588 1891 PR65 PCGS. Attractive peach-gold and lime-green toning is
deepest at the borders. This nicely struck and prominently mirrored

BARBER DIMES
590 1893-0 MS64 NGC. Light green-gold and pastel-blue shadings
drape mildly reflective surfaces on this O-mint dime. Well-defined
with great eye appeal by MS64 standards. Census: 38 in 64, 17 finer
(4/10).(#4801)
Wondrously Toned MS67 1897 Barber Dime
None Certified Finer
591 1897 MS67 NGC. Sky-blue and lavender patina around the
borders is slightly more extensive on the reverse of this Superb
Gem, ceding to soft golden-orange in the centers. Full striking
definition is seen on all the design elements. The highly lustrous
surfaces are impeccably preserved. An extremely difficult coin in
this lofty grade. Census: 6 in 67, 0 finer (4/10). (#4812)
592 1897-0 MS64 PCGS. Well struck and satiny with medium lilac
and jade-green toning that deepens near the rims. This low mintage
near-Gem appears immaculate save for a single thin faint mark on
the neck. Population: 19 in 64, 20 finer (4/10).(#4813)
593 1909-S MS64 PCGS. Both sides have peripheral green-gold
toning, but the silver center of the obverse is replaced with violet
on the reverse. A satiny near-Gem that is well struck and attractive.
Population: 20 in 64, 14 finer (4/10).(#4853)
1909-S Barber Dime, MS65
Rare and Underrated
594 1909-S MS65 PCGS. The 1909-S is a surprisingly scarce issue in
the Barber dime series in spite of a mintage of an even one million
pieces. Many pieces, such as this one, do not show full details. This
example has soft detailing on Liberty’s forecurls and overall softness
on the leaves in the wreath. The mint luster is bright and frosted,
however, and there are no mentionable abrasions that interrupt
the flow of luster around each side. While there is considerable
brightness and even some original brilliance still to be seen, each
side also displays speckled multicolored golden, rose, and blue
toning. PCGS has only certified four other pieces in MS65 with
nine finer (4/10). (#4853)
595 1914-S MS65 NGC. This lower mintage Gem has a full strike
and medium olive-gray toning. Luster shimmers throughout the
undisturbed fields and devices. Census: 19 in 65, 10 finer (4/10).
(#4867)
Scarce 1914-S Barber Dime, MS66
596 1914-S MS66 PCGS. This better date S-mint dime had a mintage
of only 2.1 million pieces. In spite of its late date, few examples
were set aside in high grade. This piece shows the bright, thick
mint luster that one would expect from a San Francisco product.
The surfaces are brilliant except for a few tiny specks of russet
and charcoal on each side. Well, but not completely struck up.

Strongly Contrasted 1894 Barber Dime, PR67 Cameo

nearly brilliant striking that displays strong contrast between the
deeply mirrored fields and prominently frosted devices. (#84878)

1895 Morgan dollar. Encapsulated in a first generation holder.

1895 Dime, PR67 Cameo
A Premium Proof Date
599 1895 PR67 Cameo NGC. Proof 1895 dimes have traditionally
brought a premium because of the low mintage and low availability
in high grade of 1895 business strikes. Of the 880 proofs produced,
only 12 others have been certified as PR67 Cameo by NGC,
with four finer (5/10). This fully brilliant Superb Gem displays
stark contrast between the heavily frosted devices and deeply
mirrored fields. Only the slightest contact marks are visible with
magnification. (#84879)

602 1905 PR65 Cameo PCGS. Breen-3543. The 05 in the date is
clearly repunched north. Breen considered the variety “very scarce,”
and added, “comprises a minority of proofs.” This fully struck Gem
has light honey toning and an absence of distractions. Just 727
proofs were struck. Population: 10 in 65 Cameo, 16 finer (4/10).

fully brilliant and boldly defined with no evidence of toning on
either side. Census: 17 in 66, 17 finer (4/10).(#4890)
604 1907 PR64 PCGS. Chestnut-gold, lilac, and aquamarine dominate
the margins, although the centers are only lightly toned. The portrait
and wreath exhibit frost, and despite the toning, this near-Gem might
merit a Cameo designation if it were not in a first generation holder.
Just 575 proofs were coined. Population: 44 in 64, 54 finer (4/10).
From The A LG Collection of Proof Dimes . (#4891)
605 1908 PR64 PCGS. Fully struck and essentially untoned. Radiant
white devices compare favorably with the darkly reflective fields,
but the first generation holder precludes a Cameo designation.
Only 545 proofs were struck. Population: 44 in 64, 44 finer (4/10).
From The A LG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#4892)
606 1909 PR66 Cameo NGC. A touch of gold toning adds to the

and the surfaces are pristine. Census: 5 in 66 Cameo, 5 finer (4/10).
(#84893)
Strongly Contrasted 1910 Barber Dime
PR67 Cameo
607 1910 PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1910 is surprisingly elusive for a
late-date Barber dime. Undoubtedly the mintage of only 551 pieces
explains much of the scarcity, especially with cameo contrast. This
is a brilliant example that displays extraordinarily deep mirrors in
the fields that contrast strongly against the thick mint frost on the
devices. The surfaces are essentially perfect and only show a small
spot at the back of the truncation of the neck of Liberty. Census: 5
in 67 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10). (#84894)
Impressive Cameo PR67 1910 Barber Dime
Rarely Seen as Such
608 1910 PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1910 is one of the low-mintage
proofs toward the end of the series. This is an impressive coin
for type purposes. The fields are extraordinarily deep in their
mirrored reflectivity which establish a “black” background against
the noticeably frosted devices, thus giving the coin its cameo
appearance. Census: 5 in 67 Cameo, 3 finer (4/10). (#84894)
609 1911 PR64 PCGS. Cameo contrast is undeniable between the
frosty devices and the glassy fields, but no such designation is
present due to the first generation holder. The reverse border
exhibits light tan-gold toning. Just 543 proofs were struck.
Population: 50 in 64, 64 finer (4/10).

610 1911 PR67 NGC. This low-mintage date is always popular,
especially when it can be located at or near the price of a type coin.
This is a splendid proof striking. Both sides are completely free from
color and shine with uncommon radiance with strong contrast
noted between the fields and devices. The only “defects” we see are
a few tiny planchet flakes in the reverse fields. Census: 16 in 67, 8

Fully Struck 1911 Dime, PR68 Cameo
611 1911 PR68 Cameo NGC. The silver-white surfaces bear just a
subliminal suggestion of gold, but the contrast is quite profound
between the fields and devices. This is a fully struck example from
the proof mintage of 543 coins, and only some microscopic slide
marks on the cheek perhaps limit an even finer grade. A superlative
acquisition for a fine type or date set. Census: 4 in 68 Cameo, 1
finer (4/10). (#84895)
612 1912 PR65 Cameo NGC. Thickly frosted devices are snow-white,
while the deep mirrors show faint hints of gray patina. Razor-sharp

TWENTY CENT PIECES
614 1875-CC XF40 PCGS. This Carson City type coin exhibits deep
gunmetal-gray toning, and displays moderate incompleteness of
strike at the centers. The left obverse field shows unobtrusive
abrasions beneath the blanket of rich patina. (#5 297)
615 1875-CC XF45 PCGS. Delicate chestnut-tan and steel-blue

One small bright spot beneath the right (facing) wing, but the

1875-CC Twenty Cent Piece, AU58
A Popular and Collectible CC Issue
616 1875-CC AU58 PCGS. As the only collectible Carson City
twenty cent piece, there is a great amount of interest in this issue
in all grades. This is an attractive example that retains a significant
amount of mint luster that is evident through the moderately deep
gray and blue toning seen over each side. The striking definition
is strong, except on the eagle’s upper left (facing) wing, as usually
seen. A couple of vertical marks are located in the right obverse
field, but are well concealed by the toning. (#5297)
1875-CC Twenty Cent Piece, MS63
Popular Type Coin
617 1875-CC MS63 NGC. From a mintage of 133,290 pieces, the
1875-CC is the only available twenty cent piece from the Carson
City Mint. The present coin is an attractive example, with lustrous
surfaces under a lovely green and blue patina. Well struck, with no
mentionable marks or distractions. (#5297)
618 1875-S MS63 PCGS. A shimmering Select example of this
famous twenty cent type issue, well struck and richly toned. Gold,
silver-blue, and peach hues embrace each side, and significant
abrasions are few. (#5298)
619 1875-S MS65 PCGS. Lustrous surfaces exhibit soft golden-brown
patina framed on the obverse by cobalt-blue and russet. Well
struck, and a handful of grade-consistent grazes fail to detract
from the coin’s overall eye appeal. Housed in a green label holder.
(#5298)
620 1876 MS63 AN ACS. Fantastically lustrous with considerable
frost on the sharply struck devices. Against a silver-white base are
streaks and patches of orange, rose, and violet toning.(#5299)

PROOF TWENTY CENT PIECES
Important 1875 Twenty Cent, PR66
621 1875 PR66 NGC. The twenty cent denomination was issued
in response to a perceived need for small change in the West,
although the real purpose was to provide an additional outlet for
silver mined in Nevada. The needless denomination only lasted for
four years, and two of those were only produced in proof.
Any Premium Gem proof twenty cent piece is a condition
rarity, and this example adds eye appeal to its rarity factor. The
obverse is light silver with cameo contrast and splashes of gold and
iridescent toning. The reverse is darker with blue-gray and gold
toning. Both sides are fully mirrored with pristine surfaces and bold
design definition. Census: 15 in 66, 1 finer (4/10). (#5303)
Deeply Toned 1876 Twenty Cent Piece, PR63
622 1876 PR63 PCGS. We have noticed and commented previously
how brightly mirrored twenty cent proofs are. This piece shows
rather heavy gray and blue toning over each side, and yet the
mirrors still flash brightly through the layers of color. The strike is
complete even to the top of the eagle’s left (facing) wing, and the
grade is only limited by light hairlines, but the effects of these are
subdued by the toning. (#5304)
Magnificent 1876 Twenty Cent, PR66
623 1876 PR66 PCGS, CAC. The obverse exhibits a mixture of sky-
blue, lavender, and gold-tan in the fields, and a light to medium
gray central device. The reverse is a more even sky-blue and gray
in the fields, with a wisp or two of lavender, and a light to medium
gray central device. Despite the rich toning, the underlying surfaces
still display much of their reflective qualities. An attentive strike
delivers sharp definition to the design elements, save for minor
softness on the eagle’s right (facing) claw, and the surfaces are
exquisitely preserved. A scarce four-year proof type. Population: 11
in 66, 0 finer (4/10). (#5304)
1877 Twenty Cent Piece, PR63 Cameo
Rare Proof-Only Date
624 1877 PR63 Cameo PCGS. From a tiny proof-only mintage of 350
pieces, the 1877 twenty cent piece is seldom encountered in any
grade, but the issue is particularly rare with a Cameo designation.
The present coin displays remarkable field-device contrast, with
the brilliant mirrored fields showing just a hint of green at the
peripheries. Population: 12 in 63 Cameo, 26 finer (4/10). (#85305)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 123
Popular, Low-Mintage 1877 Twenty Cent Piece
PR64 Cameo
625 1877 PR64 Cameo PCGS. Always of interest to collectors, the
1877 and 1878 dates are proof-only and low mintage. The 1877 is
consistent with other proof dates in the twenty cent series in that
the fields show extraordinary depth of mirroring. This coin has
thick mint frost covering the devices, and the result is a Cameo
designation. The surfaces are essentially brilliant, and there are just
a few tiny contact marks in the fields that account for the grade.
Population: 18 in 64 Cameo, 8 finer (4/10). (#85305)
1878 Twenty Cent Piece, PR62
Popular Proof-Only Type Coin
626 1878 PR62 NGC. The second year of proof-only mintage for
the unpopular twenty cent denomination, the 1878 enjoyed a
slightly larger production total than its 1877 proof counterpart,
with 600 pieces distributed. The issue is a popular choice with type
collectors. The present coin is an attractive specimen, with brilliant
surfaces and sharp striking details. (#5306)
Gem Cameo Proof 1878 Twenty Cent
627 1878 PR65 Cameo NGC. The short-lived twenty cent piece
ended with a mintage of just 600 proofs in 1878. This is a high-end
Cameo survivor from that terminal issue, impressively contrasted
on the obverse with an even stronger cameo effect on the reverse.
Faint golden elements appear at the margins, and two dots of deep
toning are present at the peripheral obverse. Census: 14 in 65
Cameo, 7 finer (4/10). (#85306)
EARLY QUARTERS
Rare 1796 Quarter, B-2
628 1796 PCGS Genuine. B-2, R.3. The PCGS number ending in
.98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons,
that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin
has the details of a VG example, but has a counterstamp on the
reverse, and the right obverse field is tooled with pinscratches, as
is the base of Liberty’s neck. The counterstamp is composed of the
initials O.G. and has been deeply impressed near the eagle’s belly.
It flattens Liberty’s neck, which is opposite. Slightly bent from the
counterstamp, but this cream-gray example will complete a quarter
dollar type collection, of which the 1796 is the key date. (#5310)
629 1806/5 VF30 PCGS. B-l, R.2. The reverse with clashed die
and crack through the upper part of UNI(TED). Variations on
blue-gray color drape moderately worn surfaces. Well struck with
shallow pinscratches noted on each side.
From The Classic Collection. (#5315)
630 1806 VF35 NGC. B-4, R.4. Tompkins Die State 1/3. Medium
golden-brown toning dominates, although the centers display
cream-gray and the borders show glimpses of navy-blue. The centers
are typically struck.(#5314)
1806 Draped Bust Quarter, B-9, AU55
Attractive Luster
631 1806 AU55 PCGS. B-9, R.l. The 1806 Draped Bust quarter is
known in 10 varieties, of which the B-9 variety is the most available.
The variety is characterized by the perfect T in LIBERTY and the
widely spaced U in UNITED and 2 in the denomination. The
present coin is an attractive specimen, with minimal wear on the
design elements and much original luster remaining. Population: 12
in 55, 63 finer (4/10). (#5314)

BUST QUARTERS
Multicolored Gem 1818/5 Quarter, B-l
632 1818/5 MS65 NGC. B-l, R.2. Obverse Die State 2/Reverse
Die State 4. All B-l quarters are overdates, but on this piece the
underdigit requires strong magnification to discern. Only the top
of the 5 is seen in the upper loop of the 8 as an angling bar. This
die variety was obviously hoarded as an unusually large number of
high grade examples are known even in Gem condition. To qualify
that last statement “an unusually large number” amounts to only
16 pieces between both grading services with four finer (5/10). In
another, more heavily collected series, such as Morgan dollars or
Walking Liberty halves, such a low survivorship would qualify as a
major rarity. Early quarters have started to come into their own in
recent years, undoubtedly in part because of the new Tompkins book,
and their rarity is much better understood and appreciated today.
The surfaces of this piece show lovely, soft mint frost beneath
multiple layers of blue, yellow, gray, and rose iridescence that covers
each side. The central details are softly defined, but the peripheries
are strongly detailed. There are no noticeable abrasions on either
side of this lovely Gem. Census: 9 in 65, 2 finer (4/10). (#5323)
Choice 1818 Bust Quarter, B-3
633 1818 MS64 PCGS. B-3, R.3. Dusky caramel-gold toning embraces
this nicely struck Choice Bust half. The reverse is lustrous, and the
obverse exhibits satin sheen. The drapery and eyebrow display
steel-gray. Marks are inconsequential, and the eye appeal is blatant.
Population: 52 in 64, 25 finer (4/10). (#5322)
Select 1821 Capped Bust Quarter
Scarce B-5 Variety
634 1821 MS63 NGC. B-5, High R.4. The reported mintage of
216,851 Capped Bust quarters for 1821 may include some coins
dated 1820. Six die varieties are known for the date, with the
present coin representing the very scarce B-5 variety. Star 7 points
to the junction of the cap with the curls, while on the reverse the
5 in the denomination is large and has a fancy top. The surfaces
of this coin are slightly prooflike and display dazzling iridescent
blue, green, and lavender patina. Census: 12 in 63, 25 finer (4/10).
(#5331)
635 1825/4—Stained—NGC Details. Unc. B-3, R.3. Scarcer than
the usual B-2 1825/4 marriage. This sharply struck and satiny
example is nearly devoid of marks and exhibits rich blended golden-
brown and gunmetal-gray toning. (#5336)
‘E* Counterstamp 1825/4 Quarter
MS62, Browning-2
636 1825/4 “E” Counterstamp MS62 NGC. B-2, R.2. The enigmatic
“E” and “L” counterstamps, seen on certain 1815 and 1825 quarters,
were first noted by numismatic catalogers in the 1870s. Recent
research suggests that these mysterious counterstamped quarters
emerged from the Economite hoard in Pennsylvania. This satiny
and well defined Bust quarter possesses dusky autumn-gold and
jade-green toning.
From The Classic Collection. (#5336)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 125
Lustrous 1832 B-2 Quarter, MS63
637 1832 MS63 PCGS. B-2, R.2. Beautiful sea-green, russet, and
pearl-gray colors enrich this meticulously struck and lightly marked
representative. The mint luster is especially intense on the reverse.
The small arrowheads identify the Browning-2 variety, which is
somewhat scarcer than the only other die pairing of the date, B-l.
Population: 10 in 63, 13 finer (4/10). (#5351)
Browning-1 1834 Quarter, MS 63
638 1834 MS63 PCGS. B-l, R.l. A later die state with clashmarks
from the shield beneath the ear and an arc-shaped die crack across
the lower obverse. Luster enriches the borders and devices. Olive-
green and cherry-red grace unmarked and nicely struck surfaces.
The portrait highpoints are gunmetal-gray. (#5353)
MS63 1838 Capped Bust Quarter, B-l
639 1838 MS63 NGC. B-l, R.l. The sole Capped Bust variety of the
year, and thus the final die pairing of the type, since the Seated
Liberty design captured the denomination until 1892. This is a
lustrous chestnut-gold representative that has glimpses of navy-
blue across portions of the reverse margin. Well struck save for
stars 6 and 12. The fields appear unabraded, and the marks on the
cheek are inconspicuous. Census: 26 in 63, 24 finer (4/10). (#5357)
642 1854-0 Huge O VG10 PCGS. CAC. FS-501. Briggs 1-A.
The famous Huge O Guide Book variety, with a large misshapen
mintmark, believed to have been hand-engraved on a working
reverse die. Presumably, Philadelphia forgot to enter the mintmark
prior to shipment of the die to New Orleans, where no letter
punches were available since all dies were made at the mother mint.
Cream-gray and olive-brown with only a couple of inconspicuous
marks on the reverse field and a curved hair-thin line near the left¬
side obverse dentils. (#5434)
643 1858 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Brightly lustrous with surprisingly little
patina. This well struck near-Gem displays a number of die polish
lines through the fields. Housed in a green label holder. PCGS has
certified 43 finer pieces (4/10). (#5445)
Rare Choice XF 1858-S Quarter
644 1858-S XF45 PCGS. The 1858-S has a reasonable mintage of
121,000 pieces, but there were no numismatists in California at
that time, and few pieces were set aside. The typical survivor is a
cleaned VF. This is a well defined Choice XF example with dusky
dove-gray toning. The surfaces are smooth save for a couple of
inconspicuous and moderate obverse field marks. Population: 8 in
45, 3 finer (4/10). (#5447)
645 1861 MS64 PCGS. Type Two Obverse and Reverse. This Civil
War near-Gem is richly patinated in jade-green, fire-red, and
autumn-gold. Precisely struck and carefully preserved. QUAR is
lightly die doubled.(#5454)
1872 Seated Liberty Quarter, MS63
Low Mintage Issue
646 1872 MS63 PCGS. The 1872 Seated Liberty quarter boasts
a low mintage of 182,000 pieces, and Mint State examples are
especially difficult to locate in today’s market. The present coin
is an attractive Select example, with sharp striking details and
no mentionable distractions. Population: 5 in 63, 14 finer (4/10).
(#5481)
SEATED QUARTERS
640 1847-0 XF40 PCGS. CAC. Medium-gray toning through the
centers with deep green-gold color at the borders. Lightly worn
with faint glimmers of peripheral luster. Population: 3 in 40, 17
finer (4/10).(#5411)
641 1854 Arrows MS63 NGC. Softly lustrous beneath waves of gold,
rose, and violet patina. This well struck near-Gem is ideal for a type
collection of toned 19th century silver.(#5432)

647 1873-CC—Corroded, Cleaned—ANACS. XF Details, Net
VF20. This extremely important opportunity is presented to Seated
quarter dollar specialists to acquire an example of this Carson City
rarity. The surfaces are impaired with moderate to heavy corrosion
on both sides, although that is typical for many Carson City silver
issues from the early 1870s. (#5492)
Richly Toned 1874-S Arrows Quarter, MS66
648 1874-S Arrows MS66 NGC. Approximately 30 years ago a
quantity (a roll?) of 1874'S quarters was uncovered and entered
the market in the early 1980s. The coins we have seen were of
uniformly high quality, and these pieces have subsequently been
used for type purposes. Many of the hoard coins are brilliant or
nearly so, but this example has significant gray and blue toning over
each side. The underlying mint luster is thick and frosted, as always,
and there are few abrasions that can be seen even with a loupe.
Census: 20 in 66, 5 finer (4/10). (#5495)
Lower-Mintage 1875-CC Quarter, MS64
649 1875-CC MS64 PCGS. The 1875-CC is a better Carson City
issue, since the mintage of 140,000 pieces is only a fraction of the
multi-million piece production of the 1876-CC and 1877-CC. The
satiny surfaces of this near-Gem display light silver-gray color and
pleasing luster. The strike is somewhat irregular with some areas
completely defined and others weak. Population: 6 in 64, 3 finer
(4/10). (#5499)
650 1877 MS65 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Rich forest-green and
tobacco-brown toning alternates across this lustrous and crisply
struck Gem. The reverse appears unabraded, and the obverse
field has only faint grazes. Housed in a first generation holder.
(#5504)
651 1878-CC MS64 PCGS. Briggs 1-A. With prominent die lines
on Liberty’s waist and the eagle’s shield. Impressive orange-red
and violet-blue embrace this satiny and meticulously struck final
year Carson City quarter. Population: 57 in 64, 22 finer (4/10).
(#5509)
Patinated Gem 1878-CC Quarter
652 1878-CC MS65 PCGS. More than 9 million quarters were struck
at Carson City between 1876 and 1877, but the 1878-CC has a
smaller mintage of less than 1 million pieces. No further fractional
silver coinage was struck at the facility, although silver dollars were
struck in quantity. The present lustrous, well struck, and unmarked
Gem offers rich blended golden-brown and apple-green patina.
Population: 17 in 65, 5 finer (4/10). (#5509)
653 1881 MS64 NGC. This pearl-gray near-Gem has booming
luster and impeccably smooth surfaces. The upper left stars are
incompletely brought up. Just 12,000 pieces were struck, since the
Mint was furiously coining silver dollars. Census: 24 in 64, 38 finer
(4/10).(#5513)
654 1885 MS63 PCGS. Delicate chestnut-gold toning visits this
satiny and unblemished low mintage quarter. Nicely struck except
for the right-side stars. Faint clashmarks are present above the
eagle’s left (facing) shoulder. Population: 25 in 63, 49 finer (4/10).
(#5517)
655 1887 MS65 ★ NGC. As of (4/10), only the present business strike
1887 quarter has secured a Star designation from NGC. The reverse
is prooflike, and the obverse is semi-prooflike. Medium autumn-
gold toning dominates, although the borders offer olive toning.
Only 10,000 pieces were struck, since Morgan dollars were coined
in magnitude to satisfy Western silver interests.(#5519)
Captivating 1887 Quarter, MS66
656 1887 MS66 PCGS. CAC. With just 10,000 business strikes
produced, high-end Mint State examples of the 1887 quarter are
understandably elusive. This satiny Premium Gem, housed in a
green label holder, is well-defined and richly toned with a primarily
silver-gray obverse that shows deep green and gold-orange colors in
a crescent along the bottom. Similar colors have more extensive
coverage on the reverse. Population: 19 in 66, 5 finer (4/10).

PROOF SEATED QUARTERS
Scarce 1858 Quarter, PR64
657 1858 PR64 NGC. The mintage of the proof 1858 quarter has
traditionally been considered as 80 pieces. However, the Guide Book
recently revised that to 300 pieces. The combined population data
from NGC and PCGS is 111 pieces (4/10). When one subtracts
an uncertain number of resubmissions from this number, it seems
more likely that the original estimate of 80 pieces is correct. The
fields seen here are deeply mirrored and shine brightly through
the golden-brown and blue toning that is more noticeable at the
margins. A few hairlines and small contact marks account for the
grade. Census: 20 in 64, 13 finer (4/10). (#5554)
First-Year 1866 With Motto Quarter
PR66 Cameo
658 1866 Motto PR66 Cameo NGC. Navy-blue, rose-red, and lime-
gold adorn the obverse. Golden-brown and apple-green are seen
over the reverse. Both sides are fully struck and deeply mirrored.
This is a delightful, high-grade proof from a scant production run of
725 pieces. Introductory year of the Motto type, patterns excluded.
Census: 4 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10). (#85565)
659 1867 PR65 PCGS. Cobalt-blue, violet, and deep red intermingle
on both sides of this lustrous Gem. The surfaces appear pristine to
the unaided eye, and the strike is needle-sharp. Population: 15 in
65, 4 finer (4/10).(#5566)
660 1872 PR64 NGC. Deep iridescent toning is more prominent on
the reverse, although both sides display varying shades of blue,
green, gold, and violet. Light, scattered contact marks appear
to explain the grade, but none of them are visible sans loupe.
(#5571)
661 1873 No Arrows PR63 NGC. Orange-gold and powder-blue
toning invigorates this lustrous and intricately struck specimen.
An excellent value in today’s numismatic market. One of just 600
proofs coined.(#5572)
Sharp 1874 Arrows Quarter, PR64 Cameo
662 1874 Arrows PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Less than a half¬
million examples of the 1874 Arrows quarter business strikes were
produced, creating added pressure on the 700 pieces of the proof
coinage. This is a sharply struck, quicksilver near-Gem Cameo
proof with moderate contrast and a hint of rose patina over each
side. Population: 10 in 64 Cameo, 15 finer (4/10). (#85575)
663 1878 PR63 PCGS. A flashy representative that has a bold strike
and only a hint of almond-gold toning. Device-to-field contrast
is evident but insufficient for a Cameo designation. A scant 800
proofs were issued. (#55 79)
664 1878 PR64 NGC. Orange-red, straw-gold, and ice-blue grace this
flashy and precisely struck near-Gem. One of just 800 proofs struck,
and housed in a prior generation holder. Census: 53 in 64, 30 finer
(4/10).(#5579)
665 1882 PR65 ★ NGC. Golden-brown, fire-red, and ocean-blue
toning adorns the borders of this fully struck and prominently
mirrored Gem. White on black contrast is unmistakable, but is
nonetheless undesignated by NGC. Census: 2 in 65 ★, 3 finer
without a Star designation (4/10).(#5583)
Lively PR67 Cameo 1883 Quarter
666 1883 PR67 Cameo NGC. Impressively frosted devices emerge
from liquid silver mirrors on this Superb Gem specimen. Only a
faint skiff of cloud-white patina visits parts of the fields, and the
surfaces are impressively preserved. The 1883 quarter, with its
relatively high mintage, is an ideal selection for the proof type
enthusiast regardless of grade. Census: 5 in 67 Cameo, 3 finer
(4/10). (#85584)
667 1890 PR64 Cameo NGC. Generous eye appeal prevails here,
with silver-white centers ringed with copper color at the margins.
The strike is bold, although a couple of minor contact marks and
hairlines explain the grade.(#85591)

668 1890 PR66 Cameo NGC. A pretty Premium Gem from the
penultimate proof Seated quarter issue, fantastically mirrored in
the fields with intense frost over the devices. While the obverse
has a light layer of cloudy patina, the reverse is virtually untoned
and closer to Ultra Cameo in appearance. An impressive specimen
in virtually all respects. Census: 9 in 66 Cameo, 19 finer (4/10).
(#85591)
Profoundly Contrasted 1890 Quarter
PR68 Ultra Cameo
674 1901 MS66 PCGS. Splashes of golden-brown and sea-green
patina cede to silver-gray centers. The devices are well struck
aside from the fletchings, lower tail feathers, and claws. The fields
are essentially unmarked, and the portrait is uncommonly clean.
Although the 1901 trades as a type coin, it is actually many times
scarcer than (for example) the 1916-D. Population: 11 in 66, 1
finer (4/10). (#5628)
1901-S Barber Quarter
Key to the Series
Fantastic PR66 Cameo 1890 Quarter
1901 Quarter, MS66
Original Surfaces
669 1890 PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC. The later proof Seated Liberty
quarter issues are often praised for their high quality and their
appearances in the upper grade levels, which make them appealing
to the discerning type collector. The 1890 is one such issue, and
with nine PR68 Ultra Cameo examples of the date graded by NGC
and none finer (4/10), there is room for multiple numismatists to
acquire this date at that level while still maintaining an impressive
degree of rarity. This coin offers stellar contrast between gleaming,
profoundly reflective fields and the snow-white frost that coats the
devices. Brilliant throughout. (#95591)
BARBER QUARTERS
670 1894-0 MS64 PCGS. The centers are silver on the obverse and
blue-green on the obverse, with satiny gold-orange to reddish patina
around each side. Mintmark is shifted far to the right. Population:
29 in 64, 18 finer (4/10).(#5608)
671 1896 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Violet, blue-green, and gold-orange
hues dominate the eye appeal of this well struck Gem. Excellent
eye appeal with only tiny marks in the portrait area. Population: 40
in 65, 9 finer (4/10).(#5613)
672 1897 MS65 NGC. CAC. Light peach and blue aspects bring out
the silver color on this attractive Gem. Strongly detailed devices
are delightfully frosty. Census: 20 in 65, 8 finer (4/10).(#5616)
673 1899-S MS64 AN ACS. Well-defined with excellent luster. The
centers remain largely silver-gray, while the margins show varying
levels of peach, orange, and blue-violet color.(#5624)
675 1901-S PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests
Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that
PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has
the details of an XF specimen that has been whizzed, with some
graffiti. David Lawrence calls the 1901-S Barber quarter “The king
of all Barber coinage” because of its low mintage of 72,664 pieces,
and an extremely low survival rate. Long considered the key to the
Barber quarter series, the 1901-S is always in demand in any grade.
The present coin shows light wear on the surfaces, with all major
design elements clearly delineated. (#5630)

Desirable 1901-S Quarter
678 1911-D MS63 PCGS. Well struck with light silver-gray luster
overall and touches of peripheral peach. A small spot of charcoal
color is noted between the ribbons flowing behind Liberty’s head.
Appealing for the Select grade. Population: 9 in 63, 28 finer (4/10).
(#5660)
Pleasing 1913-S Quarter, Choice Very Good
677
1901-S Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests
Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that
PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has
the details of a VG specimen that has light corrosion. Both sides
have full rims with slight internal design details, including four
distinct letters in LIBERTY. (#5630)
679 1913-SVG10 PCGS. A pleasing Choice Very Good example of
this key issue, the last of the three great Barber quarter keys and
in constant demand. Full rims on each side complement a nearly
full motto, and more than three letters of LIBERTY are visible,
as is some of the deep detail on the leaves and eagle feathers. The
obverse is dove-gray with some charcoal around the rims, totally
original, while the reverse is a bit darker overall. (#5666)

676 1901-S PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests
Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of a VF specimen that has reverse surface dents.
The idea of a coin being a filler is usually accepted to mean that
it is well worn with just enough detail to be identifiable. However,
coins such as this example can also be considered “hole fillers,”
especially for a collector seeking higher circulated grade coins. The
1901-S quarter is usually found in very low grade, or in Mint State
grades. Examples of this issue that grade Fine to AU are extremely
rare. The present piece, with its pleasing pewter-gray coloration
and light gold toning will be a nice addition to a collection of VF
Barber quarters. (#5630)
680 1893 PR63 ★ Cameo NGC. This piece is close to a full strike
even on the right shield corner and eagle’s wing nearby, although
not absolutely so. The eye appeal is high, with only a single tick on
the lower neck and lots of field-device contrast evident over silver-
white surfaces tinged with rose at the rims.(#85679)
681 1896 PR65 PCGS. This needle-sharp Gem is evenly toned in
milky caramel-gold. The glassy fields appear undisturbed beneath
the moderate patina. Housed in a green label holder. A scant
762 proofs were struck. Population: 33 in 65, 45 finer (4/10).
(#5682)
Deeply Mirrored PR67 ★ 1900 Quarter
682 1900 PR67 ★ NGC. CAC. Concentric slivers of electric-blue,
purple, and gold-tan patina hug the obverse margins, framing the
brilliant central area. The reverse is essentially untoned. Fully
struck design elements and nearly perfect surfaces further add to
the breathtaking eye appeal of this Superb Gem proof with NGC’s
coveted Star designation. Census: 2 in 67 ★, 2 finer with ★ (5/10).

683 1900 PR67 Cameo NGC. An extraordinary Superb Gem Cameo
proof, this piece exhibits fully brilliant silver surfaces with a hint of
gold toning along the borders. Both sides have remarkable contrast
between the deeply mirrored fields and lustrous devices. Census: 15
in 67 Cameo, 4 finer (4/10). (#85686)
Iridescently Toned PR67 1904 Quarter
684 1904 PR67 PCGS. Technical grade, original color, strike, and
almost perfectly preserved surfaces all come together on this coin
to produce what surely must be one of the most attractive Barber
quarters for type purposes. Each side has emerald-green, scarlet,
and blue colors interspersed and they are backlit by the bright
proof mirrors. A must-see coin. Population: 10 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).
(#5690)
Rare 1904 Quarter, PR67
685 1904 PR67 NGC. This piece deserves a Cameo designation, in
our opinion, as it displays fully brilliant silver surfaces and excellent
contrast. This piece and others like it were discouraged at the
Mint, it being the feeling of Mint officers that cameo contrast was
undesirable. Of course that has all changed now, and cameo or deep
cameo contrast is the pinnacle of numismatics. Census: 36 in 67, 6
finer (4/10). (#5690)
686 1905 PR66 NGC. This is a visually impressive coin that has much
original brilliance remaining on each side. Additionally there is an
irregular smattering of golden-russet and cobalt-blue toning that is
deeper around the margins than elsewhere. The fields are brightly
reflective, and the only contact marks are tiny (loupe required) in
the right obverse field. Exceptional quality. (#5691)
687 1906 PR64 PCGS. The reverse is sun-gold, while the obverse
displays rich apricot, ocean-blue, and forest-green toning. Decisively
struck and undisturbed by contact or carbon. A meager 675 proofs
were produced. (#5 692)
688 1906 PR66 NGC. This boldly defined proof has brilliant silver
surfaces with no evidence of toning on either side. Both sides show
faint cameo contrast, although insufficient for the Cameo proof
designation. Census: 44 in 66, 33 finer (4/10).(#5692)
689 1909 PR64 NGC. This sharply defined and fully brilliant silver
proof has excellent contrast between the fields and devices, and
should be designated as a Cameo proof. The borders have a trace of
champagne toning. (#5 695)
Scarce PR66 1909 Quarter
690 1909 PR66 NGC. Golden-brown, powder-blue, and plum-red
toning adorns this razor-sharp Premium Gem. Both sides appear
flawless aside from a single hair-thin line above Liberty’s eye. Many
numismatists are amused by the enormous numismatic premiums
assigned to certain modern issues such as the 1995-W silver eagle,
while both mintages and premiums are much lower for early 20th
century proofs. Census: 38 in 66, 32 finer (4/10). (#5695)
691 1909 PR65 Cameo NGC. Ex: Pittman. A brightly contrasted and
glittering Gem with pleasingly frosted devices. A few minor patches
of cloudy patina rest on the mirrors. Census: 8 in 65 Cameo, 19
finer (4/10). (#85695)
692
1914 PR64 NGC. The proof mintage of 1914 Barber quarters was
a stingy 360 coins, at a time when everyone but Charles Barber
had tired of the series. This reflective near-Gem boasts lilac patina
over frosty, well-struck surfaces. A single slide mark appears on the
cheek. (#5 700)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT

693 1914 PR68 NGC. This Superb Gem coin is gorgeously patinated
in swaths of ocean-blue and orange-gold, complementing a blush
of lilac on the portrait. The strike is razor-sharp, particularly on the
fletchings, claws, and shield corners. A flawless and exemplary type
representative, from the proof mintage of 380 coins—lowest of the
entire series. Census: 8 in 68, 0 finer (4/10). (#5700)
Boldly Struck, Delightfully Toned
1915 Barber Quarter, PR66
694 1915 PR66 NGC. The low mintage was only 450 proofs for this
issue, coming near the end of the Barber series. This Premium Gem
proof offers a delightful two-toned approach, aquamarine centers
on the obverse with a glint of saffron near the rim, while lilac and
more saffron dominate the reverse. Contact is not a factor on this
piece, which is close to a full strike. The eye appeal is super. Census:
23 in 66, 19 finer (4/10). (#5701)
STANDING LIBERTY QUARTERS
Affordable 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter, VG8
695 1916 VG8 PCGS. Just enough of the date remains to positively
identify this issue, although other die characteristics unique to the
1916 issue are also clearly visible. The surfaces are mostly pewter-
gray with some deeper steel toning outlining the devices. Here is
an affordable example of the key 1916 Standing Liberty quarter.
(#5704)
696 1916—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. VF. Like the Mercury
dime, the Standing Liberty quarter had its foremost key date appear
in the first year of production, 1916. Unlike the Mercury dime,
which also has other, higher-mintage issues bearing the same date
as the 1916-D but different mintmarks, the Philadelphia Standing
Liberty quarter issue of 1916 was the only one produced that year.
Moreover, the quarter issue’s mintage of just 52,000 pieces was less
than one-fifth that of the 1916-D Mercury dime.
While this piece is just a bit too bright to be believable, the
effect of the cleaning is subdued by gray-rose toning that covers
each side. All four digits in the date are legible if just a bit weak at
the tops. Numerous small, but individually insignificant abrasions
are scattered over both obverse and reverse. (#5704)
697 1917 Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. A delightful Gem
example of this popular Type One type issue with Full Head details.
Satiny with color ranging from silver-white to tan.(#5707)
698 1917 Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. A tempting Type One
Gem with sparkling satin luster and great eye appeal. Rich pastel-
rose and periwinkle blue toning gives way to dots of deep tan and
umber at the lower reverse border. (#5 707)
699 1917 Type One MS65 Full Head NGC. The borders exhibit a hint
of tan toning, but this lustrous and fully struck Gem is otherwise
brilliant. Splendidly preserved, and an excellent candidate for a
quality silver type set.(#5707)
700 1917 Type One MS66 Full Head PCGS. CAC. Subtly frosted
luster lends this essentially silver-white piece delightful eye appeal.
The bottom obverse rim adds a touch of orange, as does the lower
reverse. Sharply struck and impressive.(#5707)
Thickly Lustrous 1917 Type One Quarter
MS 6 7 Full Head, Pale Pastel Toning
701 1917 Type One MS67 Full Head NGC. Sharply struck with lovely,
radiantly lustrous surfaces that are lightly toned and have a pleasing,
slightly granular, matte-like texture. Small apricot toning specks are
lightly scattered over both obverse and reverse, and there are only a
couple of small contact marks on the obverse. Conditionally scarce
as a Superb Gem, and with full striking definition on Liberty’s head,
with none graded any higher by either service. Census: 59 in 67
Full Head, 0 finer (4/10). (#5707)
702 1917-D Type One MS65 Full Head PCGS. Both sides of this
boldly detailed and unmarked Gem have brilliant and frosty
surfaces with ivory luster. The obverse has pale champagne toning
with deep golden-steel at the border and outlining the devices.
The reverse is mostly pale lilac with splashes of gold at the border.

Lovely 1917-S Type One Quarter, MS66
703 1917-S Type One MS66 NGC. Fewer than 2 million 1917-S
quarters were struck with the Type One design, and survivors that
rate better than Gem are few and far between. This satiny, faintly
gokbtinged silver piece has excellent definition overall, though
flatness on Liberty’s head denies a Full Head designation. Census:
11 in 66, 2 finer (4/10). (#5710)
1917-S Type One Quarter, MS66 Full Head
Scarce Type One Issue
704 1917-S Type One MS66 Full Head PCGS. The 1917-S Type One
quarter should be a common coin, even with Full Head details, with
its mintage of 1.9 million pieces. That, of course, is not the case. As
is the case with many S-mint coins, pieces were heavily circulated
and fewer were set aside than their P and D-mint counterparts. This
is a lovely example that has thick mint frost, complete definition
throughout, and just a touch of peripheral russet toning over the
otherwise brilliant surfaces. Population: 60 in 66 Full Head, 9 finer
(4/10). (#5711)
705 1917 Type Two MS66 Full Head NGC. Light almond-gold
toning graces this lustrous and well preserved Premium Gem. A
superior strike, especially on the shield rivets. Census: 41 in 66 Full
Head, 12 finer (4/10).(#5715)
706 1917-D Type Two MS66 PCGS. Magnificently patinated in
fire-red, apple-green, and stone-gray. Lustrous and mark-free with
a good strike aside from three shield rivets and the center of the
head. Scarcer than its Type One predecessor in Mint State, despite
a significantly greater mintage.(#5716)
Silver-White 1918 Quarter, MS66 Full Head
707 1918 MS66 Full Head NGC. The 1918 Standing Liberty quarter
is one of the better-produced issues in the series up to that point,
save for the 1917 Type Two, according to Cline. This Premium
Gem boasts cartwheel luster over silver-white surfaces, and the
date is fully struck, even on the often-weak top portion. A touch
of dark toning appears to the left of Liberty’s left (facing) leg. The
strike is uniformly sharp. Census: 27 in 66 Full Head, 3 finer (4/10).
(#5721)
Original 1918/17-S Overdate Quarter, Fine 12
Date Faint but Readable
708 1918/7-S Fine 12 NGC. FS-101. It is a natural tendency for
numismatists to “hit the highlights” for series they do not collect
by date. Although Jay Cline, the noted Standing Liberty quarter
proponent, memorably urged readers of The Coin Dealer Newsletters
CDN Monthly Supplement to think of his preferred coins as “more
than a few key dates,” the fact remains that when a nonspecialist
considers Standing Liberty quarters, usually just those few key dates
come to mind. The 1918/7-S overdate is firmly established as one of
those keys. This piece was obviously plucked from circulation many
years ago. The surfaces are light gray with occasional, contrasting
darker gray around the devices. The date and underdigit are worn,
but definitely readable. Numerous small abrasions are peppered
over each side. (#5726)
1918/7-S Overdate Quarter, VF25
Pleasing for the Grade
709 1918/7-S VF25 PCGS Secure. FS-101. In the fourth edition,
volume two of the Cherrypickers ’ Guide, there are just five varieties
listed for the Standing Liberty quarter; curiously, all come from
the San Francisco Mint. Before the three mintmark errors and the
prominent 1929-S clashed obverse die comes the granddaddy of
the series, the 1918/7-S quarter. The Cherrypickers ’ Guide states:
“This clear overdate, 1918/7, was caused by using two different
dated hubs when the die was made.” As usual, the underdigit is
prominent on this extensively circulated example. The surfaces are
natural, light gray overall with hints of golden and rose. Minimally
abraded. (#5726)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 133
Highly Sought-After 1918/7-S Quarter, AU55
710 1918/7-S AU55 PCGS. FS-101. In Mint State, the 1918/7-S is the
key to the Standing Liberty series. Even at the AU55 level, it is rarer
than its closest competitor, the 1916. Since the normal date 1918-S
has a mintage of more than 11 million pieces, collectors of the day
saw little need to set aside examples, and most 1918/7-S quarters
circulated until wear on the date made the variety unattributable.
The present Choice AU example has a bold overdate. The
crossbar and downstroke of the 7 is obvious. The surfaces shimmer
with luster, although light wear is present on Liberty’s leg and
inner shield. Medium silver-gray and olive toning confirms the
originality. (#5726)
Overdate 1918/7-S Quarter, AU55
711 1918/7-S AU55 NGC. FS-101. The extensive popularity of
the 1918/7-S quarter reaches well beyond specialist circles, since
overdates as a class have their own adherents and enthusiasts. In
“The Ten Top Error Coins,” an article in the June 1996 edition of
Coins by A1 Doyle, the 1918/7-S Standing Liberty quarter ranks
sixth on the list, which also includes other memorable overdates,
such as the Denver and Philadelphia 1942/1 dimes and the New
Orleans and Philadelphia 1887/6 Morgan dollars. Similarly, this
charming piece is sure to rank highly with the successful bidder.
Only slight, even wear is seen over the high points, and each
side displays muted gray patina with a tinge of golden. A few
shallow field marks are seen on the reverse, but none are worthy of
individual mention. (#5726)
712 1920 MS65 Full Head PCGS. Elegant golden toning overall
with glimpses of rose and blue. This shining Gem is solidly struck
with captivating eye appeal. PCGS has graded 22 finer Full Head
examples (4/10).(#5735)
713 1921 AU58 NGC. Light splashes of gold and orange color visit
lustrous silver surfaces toned faintly in gray. Scarcely worn but
with typical striking softness on Liberty’s head, though her shield is
better-defined than usually seen. (#5 740)
714 1921 MS64 PCGS. Light gold toning aids the eye appeal of this
lustrous and refreshingly unabraded near-Gem. Well struck on the
waist and shield. A lower mintage date due to unprecedented silver
dollar coinage. Certified in a green label holder.(#5740)

715 1923-S AU53 ICG. A lightly worn example of this popular S-mint
issue, conditionally challenging any finer. Surfaces are generally
still-lustrous silver, though spots of reddish-brown toning are noted
at the margins.(#5744)
716 1925 MS66 Full Head NGC. Attentively struck on both head
and shield, a wonderful Premium Gem example of this recessed-
date issue. Light golden overtones grace strongly lustrous surfaces.
Census: 35 in 66 Full Head, 12 finer (4/10).(#5753)
717 1926-S MS66 NGC. In terms of condition and appearance this
example of the 1926-S appears hard to beat, as none are certified
finer at PCGS and only two at NGC. This frosty Premium Gem
boasts ice-white surfaces that are essentially free of any distraction,
other than the minor strike softness that is common on this strike-
challenged issue. Raised parallel die lines prominent on the reverse
and from die polishing, indicative of a fresh new die. Census: 10 in
66, 2 finer (4/10). (#5758)
718 1928-D MS67 NGC. An extraordinary Superb Gem. Both sides
have fully brilliant centers with bright luster, while the margins
are toned in navy-blue and golden-brown. Census: 9 in 67, 0 finer
(4/10).(#5768)
719 1929-S MS66 Full Head NGC. Dappled olive-brown and purple
toning is confined mostly to the borders of this Premium Gem,
especially on the obverse. Lustrous, minimally abraded surfaces
exhibit well struck devices, culminating in a Full Head on Liberty.
(#5777)
Brightly Frosted 1929-S Quarter, MS67 Full Head
720 1929-S MS67 Full Head NGC. The frosty and completely silver-
white surfaces are well-preserved, showing just one minuscule
mark on the eagle’s breast. Decidedly above-average definition for
the issue, though slight softness is noted at the lower rivets of the
shield. Census: 26 in 67 Full Head, 1 finer (4/10). (#5777)
EARLY HALF DOLLARS
1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar, 0-101, VF20
First Year of Denomination
721 1794 VF20 PCGS. 0-101, R.4. A small mintage of 23,464
Flowing Hair half dollars was achieved using the 1794'dated dies,
with 11 die varieties known for the date. The present coin is a
representative of the 0-101 variety, distinguished by the position
of the first star point piercing the lowest curl, and the 21 berries
on the reverse. Only 5,300 half dollars were actually delivered in
1794, on October 15. Mint records indicate the balance of the issue
was delivered on February 4, 1795, an early example of the Mint’s
practice of using dies as long as they were useful, without regard for
the date of manufacture.
The present coin is a pleasing specimen, with moderate, even
wear and a few adjustment marks evident on the obverse. The
surfaces are toned gunmetal-gray, with hints of lilac. Population: 34
in 20, 90 finer (4/10). (#6051)
722 1795 2 Leaves—Repaired—NCS. VF Details. 0-116, R.5.
Overly glossy surfaces have pearl-gray centers bounded by
charcoal hues. Some of the letters in LIBERTY appear to have
been strengthened, accounting for the “Repaired” designation.

VF30 Details 1795 Half Dollar
Two Leaves, 0-110
723 1795 2 Leaves—Cleaned—ANACS. VF30 Details. 0-110, R.4.
A moderately worn representative of the ever-popular Flowing Hair
half dollar type, struck from a scarce die pair. Cleaned, granular
surfaces show shifting shades of silver-gray and scattered abrasions
and pinscratches, most notably in the space between the portrait
and date. Still, a readily collectible representative. (#6052)
1803 Small 3 Half Dollar, AU50
0-104
728 1803 Small 3 AU50 NGC. 0-104, R.3. This attractive piece has
deep cobalt-blue and mauve-gray toning intermixed over each side,
with some underlying brightness. Free from any relevant abrasions.
This is a choice and appealing example of the only Small 3 die
marriage. Hence the Overton-104 receives its own Guide Book
listing. (#6067)
724 1795 2 Leaves, A Over E VG8 PCGS. 0-113a, R.4. The popular
variety with the A in STATES cut over an E. Mentioned in the
Guide Book but not separated priced. This cream-gray Flowing Hair
half lacks consequential marks, and all peripheral stars and letters
are distinct from the rim. (#605 2)
Low Availability 1801 Half Dollar, XF40, 0-101
725 1801 XF40 PCGS. 0-101, R.3. After a four-year hiatus, the
United States began to issue half dollars again in 1801, using
Robert Scot’s obverse from 1796-1797 and a new reverse featuring a
Heraldic Eagle with olive branch and arrows in hand. The mintage
in 1801 was nearly 10 times that of 1797 at 30,289 pieces, but these
coins are by no means common. This example features medium
gray surfaces with a touch of violet and some faint mint luster.
Even wear for the grade, without any notable distractions noted.
Population: 15 in 40, 28 finer (4/10). (#6064)
726 1803 Large 3 XF45 ANACS. 0-103, R.3. Large 3 on the
obverse with the reverse showing an arrowhead that reaches all
the way to the end of the N in UNITED. Lightly rubbed but still-
lustrous surfaces show a mix of gold and deep steel-violet color.
(#6066)
727 1803 Small 3 VF25 PCGS. CAC. 0-104, R.3. Autumn-gold and
stone-gray embrace this lightly abraded and problem-free Draped
Bust half. A scarce Guide Book variety, since the other three 1803-
dated Overton die pairs feature a Large 3.(#6067)
Nearly Unmarked AU53 1805 Half Dollar, O-lll
729 1805 AU53 NGC. O-lll, R.2. Both star 1 and the digit 1 nearly
touch the curl and bust, and star 9 is recut. On the reverse there are
five berries, all with stems, and a star touches the beak and scroll.
Minor wear and rub on the high points keep this piece out of the
Mint State range, but there are few mentionable marks on either
side of this pinkish-gold specimen. The strike is somewhat blunt on
the lower reverse, as usual for this die pairing. (#6069)
1805 Draped Bust Half Dollar, 0-106, AU55
Attractive Luster
730 1805 AU55 NGC. 0-106, R.3. From a large mintage of 211,722
pieces, the 1805 Draped Bust half dollar is known in 14 die
varieties. The present coin is a representative of the 0-106 variety,
with the leaf pointing to the right base of the I in AMERICA. Only
minimal wear shows on the devices of this well preserved specimen,
and much luster remains in the fields. A few adjustment marks are
present on the reverse. (#6069)

1806 Knobbed 6, Large Stars
Half Dollar, OH05, AU53
731 1806 Knobbed 6, Large Stars AU53 NGC. 0-105, R.2. A die
crack is present through several left-side stars as in 0-105a, but
the crack is very faint. Rich golden-brown, plum, apple-green, and
cream-gray bathe this glossy and partly lustrous example. The strike
is blunt on the cloud pair beneath OF, as usual for the type, but the
major devices have strong details overall.

Lustrous Choice AU 1806 Pointed 6
No Stem Half Dollar, O-l 09a
732 1806 Pointed 6, No Stem AU55 PCGS. O- 109a, R.3. In this
late die state, the obverse stars are drawn to the edge, and there is
scant trace visible here of the long, spiky protrusion from between
star 7 and the L. A bold, horizontal die crack runs through star
12. The present Choice AU coin exhibits lots of bold luster over
orange-gold and silver surfaces with tinges of ice-blue near the rims.
There is die rust appearing on both sides, in the form of pebbly
surfaces on the coin, and clashing from the clouds on the reverse is
visible in the date. (#6073)
733 1807 Draped Bust Genuine PCGS. 0-104, Low R.5. The PCGS
number ending in .82 suggests Filed Rims as the reason, or perhaps
one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In
our opinion, this coin has the details of a cleaned XF specimen
with filed rims. Light chestnut-gold toning visits this attractively
detailed better variety Draped Bust half. Luster emerges from the
design, and no marks are individually distracting. (#6079)
0-102 1807 Draped Bust Half, AU55
734 1807 Draped Bust AU55 PCGS. CAC. 0-102, R.2. A relatively
accessible final-year Draped Bust half dollar variety with a
distinctively shaped letter Y in LIBERTY. This example is strongly
lustrous. Light gold to peach overtones cover most of the obverse
but only a little of the reverse. Rub is found mostly on the highest
design elements. (#6079)
Possible Census Level 1807 0-103 Half, AU55
735 1807 Draped Bust AU55 NGC. 0-103, R.3. Although the clash
marks and flow lines on this piece suggests a late die state, there is
no evidence of the State a reverse crack that Overton describes.
This deeply toned Choice AU example has nearly full luster with
iridescent highlights. Slightly weak at the centers as usual. This
example appears to be in or near the Condition Census. (#6079)
Desirable 1807 0-105 Half, AU58
736 1807 Draped Bust AU58 NGC. 0-105, R.l. Light gold
toning visits unmarked and partly lustrous surfaces. The reverse
is surprisingly devoid of marks, and the obverse has only a few
faint hairlines. At least six sets of clashmarks are present, most
prominent near the O in OF A desirable near-Mint Draped Bust
type coin. (#6079)
Late State 1807 O-105a Half, AU58
737 1807 Draped Bust AU58 NGC. CAC. O- 105a, R.4. Although
the 0-105 die combination is considered common, late die state
pieces are elusive, and only two or three are known that are finer
than this specimen. Light ivory and gray at the centers has a frame
of lovely iridescence near the borders. The specialist will want to
take advantage of this important opportunity. (#6079)

overlapping the hair curl. The upper beak and star 12 are joined
point to point on this single variety reverse die.
A splendid Mint State piece with full satin luster, brilliant

XF40, O-l 11a, R.5
739 1807 Large Stars, 50 Over 20 XF40 PCGS. CAC. O-llla, R.5.
The “Bearded Goddess” as PCGS notes on the holder, although
in the earlier O-l 11a die state, with the die crack clear between
the chin and neck, but only faintly onto the face and not yet
turning around and coming back down to just before the 1 and
to the milling. The reverse is identified by the die defect dot just
below the lowest arrowhead. This piece offers slate-gray coloration
dominating, with lighter silver color around the device edges
and high points. A collectible example of this classic American
numismatic issue. (#6086)
1807 Large Stars, 50 Over 20 Half
0-112, AU50
740 1807 Large Stars, 50 Over 20 AU50 PCGS. O-l 12, R.l. Clearly
an advanced die state on both sides, though it lacks the reverse
“cud” that distinguishes the very scarce O-l 12a subvariety. This
lightly worn example is still-lustrous with gold overtones and a spot
of charcoal color over the 18 in the date. A channel in the metal
running from Liberty’s cap up to the rim is of indeterminate origin.
(#6086)
1812 Capped Bust Half Dollar, 0-110, MS64
Sharp Strike, Lustrous Surfaces
741 1812 MS64 NGC. 0-110, R.l. From a large mintage of 1.6
million pieces, the 1812 Capped Bust half dollar is an available date
and a popular type coin. The present coin is a sharply struck Choice
example, with lustrous surfaces and no mentionable distractions.
Census: 71 in 64, 39 finer (4/10). (#6100)

1817/3 Half Dollar, AU55, O-lOla
The Affordable 1817 Overdate
Lustrous 1824/4 0-110 Half Dollar, MS64
Minimally Marked 1824/1 Half, 0-101, MS64
Shining 1831 0-103 Half, MS65
748 1832 Small Letters MS62 PCGS. 0-103, R.l. Like many of
Overton’s 103 varieties, this die pair has recutting on the upright
of the 5 in the denomination. An attractive and lustrous example,
toned gold-rose and blue-violet with few overt abrasions for the
grade. (#6160)
742 1817/3 AU55 NGC. CAC. O- 101a, R.2. The typical die crack
from the edge through ME, wing tip, arrow shafts, denomination,
and olive leaves is present. The die lump below star 13 is
pronounced, as is the underdigit 3 beneath the 7. This piece offers
rather deeply toned grayish-gold surfaces, with contrasting lilac
tinted high points—an appealing original appearance. Certified in
an old-style NGC holder, this coin should neatly fill the bill as an
excellent example of this popular overdate. Census: 14 in 55, 32
finer (4/10). (#6111)
745 1824/4 MS64 PCGS. 0-110, R.2. The 4 is recut over a 4, with
the top of the first 4 visible to the left of the final one, and on the
reverse there is a die dot below the U of UNUM. The letters AME
are solidly joined at their bases. This early die state piece has no
evidence of the reverse crack that forms later. The surfaces are
outstanding, with full luster beneath deep gold, green, and gray
toning. All of the design elements are sharply detailed. Population:
12 in 64,0 finer (4/10). (#6140)
Minimally Abraded 1825 Half, 0-115, MS64
743 1824/1 MS64 NGC. 0-101, R.2. The prominent overdate
identifies the obverse. On the reverse, the top of the U is slightly
higher than the N in UNITED. Coruscating luster enhances the
minimally marked surfaces. Light gray toning on the centers yields
to golden accents around the rims with a hint of red on the reverse.
Well-struck with great eye appeal. (#6139)
High-Grade 1824/1 Half Dollar, MS64, O-lOla
746 1825 MS64 NGC. 0-115, R.3. This reverse is the only one paired
with this obverse, which normally shows a small, disconnected
straight bar near the right base of the 1 in the date; however, in this
advanced die stage, metal flow draws the peripheral devices toward
the border and renders the bar invisible. The reverse shows the third
line of stripe 4 extending to the second crossbar. This is a lovely
near-Gem example with mellow, consistent luster throughout. The
powder-gray devices are outlined in iridescent jade and gold on the
obverse, with some charcoal on the reverse. Contact is minimal.
(#6142)
744 1824/1 MS64 NGC. O-lOla, R.2. Ex: Eliasberg. The Eliasberg
specimen is probably at the low end of the Condition Census for
the 0-101 die combination. The surfaces have light champagne
toning that is slightly deeper on the obverse, along with traces and
flashes of iridescence. The claws to the left and the lowest pair of
olive leaves show some weakness, but all other obverse and reverse
features are sharp.
Ex: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Estate (Bowers and Merena,
411997), lot 1799. (#6139)
747 1831 MS65 PCGS. O- 103, R. 1. A couple of finer MS66 examples
are known, but this Gem is certainly in the 0-103 Condition
Census. Both sides are highly lustrous with full mint brilliance. The
upper obverse and lower reverse show slight weakness, although
the balance of the design details are sharp. This lovely example
will make a nice addition to any type, date, or specialized variety
collection. (#6159)

Near-Gem 1832 Half Dollar, 0-113
749 1832 Small Letters MS64 PCGS. CAC. 0-113, R.2. This early
die state piece has complete obverse and reverse border details.
Remarkable near-Gem quality, the central devices are light silver
and the surrounding fields are gold toned with lovely peripheral
iridescence. Probably a low end Census piece. (#6160)
REEDED EDGE HALF DOLLARS
1836 Reeded Edge Half Dollar, VF35
Low Mintage, First Date of Type
750 1836 Reeded Edge VF35 PCGS. The 1836 Reeded Edge half
dollar is the first year of this important two year design type. From a
tiny mintage of 1,200 pieces, the 1836 is definitely scarcer than its
1837 counterpart. The present coin is lightly worn, with all major
design features plainly delineated. The surfaces are a pleasing silver-
gray, with some luster remaining. (#6175)
1837 Reeded Edge Half, MS 66
Brilliant, Swirling Mint Luster
751 1837 MS66 NGC. In 1836 the Mint chose the newly designed
Capped Bust, Reeded Edge half dollars to try its new steam-powered
presses, combined with the “close collar” technology that produced
the edge reeding. The 1836 mintage was a scant 1,200 pieces
recorded. The 1837 mintage is reported as 3.6 million coins,
making this issue ideal for a type set, as the reverse was changed the
following year, 1838, to HALF DOL. from 50 CENTS.
This piece offers surfaces that are untoned with swirling, frosted
mint luster. The obverse shows multiple clash marks and advanced
die fatigue, with fine die striae running outward from the center
throughout the coin. The strike is bold in the centers, but the design
elements weaken at the rim, most notably on each side from about
8 to 10 o’clock, an effect likely coupled with die misalignment,
as the opposite rim elements are noticeably stronger. There are
no visible die breaks, but this coin was produced from dies that
clearly were in service for a long while. A carefully preserved and
interesting Premium Gem. (#6176)
752 1838 MS61 NGC. Crisply detailed with pale, lustrous surfaces,
faintly gold-toned at the margins with a spot of deep color over
the eagle’s head. Minimally marked overall but with a few shallow
pinscratches noted to the left of the portrait.(#6177)

Pleasing MS64 1838 Reeded Edge Half
753 1838 MS64 PCGS. While the Reeded Edge half dollar of 1838
has a massive mintage of over 3.5 million pieces, few survivors are
so well-preserved as this near-Gem. Dappled blue-green and gold
shadings cover most of the lustrous surfaces, though there are also
areas that remain silver with minimal toning. Top-notch eye appeal
with only minor, scattered marks. A small die cud is noted in the
date area. Population: 39 in 64, 8 finer (4/10). (#6177)
SEATED HALF DOLLARS
754 1839 No Drapery XF45 PCGS. Walnut-brown and gunmetal-
blue patina encompasses this richly detailed Choice XF Seated
half. Undistinguished by contact except for a hair-thin mark east of
the Y in LIBERTY. A popular and very scarce introductory design
subtype. (#6230)
1839 No Drapery Half, WB-101, AU58
Interesting Reverse Die Cracks
755 1839 No Drapery AU58 NGC. WB-101. Much of the luster is
still present on this interesting example of the 1839 No Drapery,
an issue that forms only a minority of the total mintage of 1.97
million pieces. The “so-called proofs and some business strikes”
were produced from the reverse die of this coin, according to Wiley-
Bugert, characterized by extensive die cracks. One crack runs from
under HALF DOLLAR around the rim to the tops of MERICA; a
second crack runs through the center reverse from the olive leaves
to the shield, right wing, and R. This glossy piece is silver-white
with a few scattered ticks and abrasions. (#6230)
756 1855-0 Arrows MS63 NGC. A richly toned example of the last
O-mint Arrows, No Motto half dollar issue. Bold luster lights up the
gold, orange, and blue hues that embrace each side.(#6283)
757 1858 MS64 PCGS. Impressively lustrous and solidly struck. This
near-Gem has bold toning with orange, rose, and blue elements
prevailing. Population: 57 in 64, 16 finer (4/10).(#6293)
1861-0 CSA Obverse Die Crack Half, AU58
Deep Peripheral Toning
758 1861-0 CSA Obverse AU58 AN ACS. WB-102. This advanced
die state is identifiable as the Confederate obverse by “a die crack
from Liberty’s nose to the rim slightly to the right of the 7th
star.” The crack is definitely present, but the deep blue and russet
peripheral toning almost renders it invisible. Otherwise, the coin
is sharply struck and the glossy surfaces retain much original mint
luster. The CSA die crack and the CSA restrike halves are about as
close as most of us will ever get to owning one of the four original
CSA halves. (#39968)

CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA
Remarkable 1861 Scott Restrike CSA Half
MS63, High-Grade With Sharp Obverse
759 1861 Scott Restrike MS63 NGC. Breen-8002. The Scott restrike
Confederate States of America half dollars are always extremely
popular, whether for history buffs or numismatists, as the original
CSA half dollars are so rare that the chances of obtaining one of the
four known examples are slim to none. J.W. Scott made 500 restrikes
by planing off the reverse of, supposedly, 1861-0 half dollars and
restriking them with the Confederate HALF DOL. reverse.
This piece is remarkable on two counts: One is the unusually
high grade. Even most of the certified Mint State pieces range
from MS60-MS62. In addition, the obverse is strongly struck, an
unusual phenomenon since the obverse was normally flattened
when the reverse die struck the planed-off side. This piece shows
some softness on the obverse high points, but the stars all have
their centrils. The fields show evidence of buckling, another tipoff
(if one were needed) that this is a restrike. Pale lilac-golden toning
appears on the reverse, with an even golden layer over the obverse.
A few minor obverse field marks account for the grade. Census: 8 in
63, 13 finer (4/10). (#340402)
Scott Token in White Metal
Confederate Obverse, MS64
760 1861 Scott Token MS64 PCGS. Breen-8003. These popular
tokens were struck in white metal by J.W. Scott circa 1879,
pairing the Confederate States of America obverse with a custom
commemorative reverse. This near-Gem is one of just 500 pieces
struck for this Guide Book issue. Light yellow and blue toning has
settled over much of the gleaming surfaces. A few planchet flaws
and abrasions are noted on each side. (#340403)
SEATED HALF DOLLARS
761 1864 MS63 AN ACS. A sharply struck half dollar that has only
a hint of gold patina on each side. Marks are surprisingly minimal.
The obverse exhibits cartwheel luster, while the reverse is prooflike.
(#6311)
762 1866 Motto MS62 NGC. Soft luster glimmers most strongly at the
margins of this first-year Motto half. Golden border toning gives
way to dusky blue-green at the centers, and both hues are deeper on
the reverse. Census: 11 in 62, 25 finer (4/10).(#6319)
763 1872-CC VF20 PCGS. Dusky rose, peach, and gray hues mingle
on each side of this Carson City half dollar. A combination of
moderate wear and striking softness has rendered the E in LIBERTY
illegible. Population: 6 in 20, 84 finer (4/10).(#6334)
Gem 1872-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar
Attractive Specimen of an Elusive Issue
764 1872-S MS65 NGC. WB-102. Medium-Small Mintmark. The
1872-S Seated Liberty half dollar is scarce in all grades, rare in
Mint State, and very rare at the Gem level. This attractive Gem is
sharply struck, with subdued satiny mint luster, each side is covered
with a light golden-olive patina. No mentionable flaws are evident.
Census: 1 in 65, 2 finer (4/10). (#6335)
765 1875 MS64 NGC. Golden-brown and sea-green blend across this
satiny and crisply struck near-Gem. Despite a production of more
than 6 million pieces, the 1875 is as elusive in Mint State as many
of the low mintage post-1878 dates. Census: 36 in 64, 20 finer
(4/10).(#6349)

776 1882 PR62 Cameo NGC. A virtually untoned representative
that boasts a good strike and nice white-on-black contrast. The few
delicate hairlines on the right reverse field are characteristic of the
grade. Census: 11 in 62 Cameo, 60 finer (4/10). (#86443)
Toned, Semiprooflike 1890 Half Dollar, MS67
768 1891 MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike AN ACS. This final year
Seated half has every appearance of a proof, except that the strike
is slightly incomplete on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s claws. Flashy
and brilliant save for golden-brown, sea-green, and ruby-red toning
on the reverse periphery. (#63 73)
Interestingly Toned 1881 Half Dollar, PR65
771 1858 PR63 Cameo PCGS. There is a wide variance in the
estimated number of proofs struck of this date. Wiley and Bugert
estimate between 80 and 400 pieces. This cameo shows deeply
mirrored fields with sharply contrasting mint frost over the fields.
The strike is intricately detailed on each side. A few small contact
marks and hairlines account for the grade, and each side has just
a bit of golden toning. Population: 1 in 63 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10).
(#86412)
775 1881 PR65 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Although 975 proofs were
minted, this is a very elusive date in the With Motto Seated half
series. Both sides are toned in a similar fashion with deep gray
and antique-gold centers bordered with cobalt-blue, and there are
sprinkles of brilliance on the obverse. Sharply defined throughout,
and a very desirable example. (#6442)
766 1875-S MS64 NGC. CAC. Generally well-defined at the centers,
though the obverse stars exhibit perceptible softness. Light golden
toning visits frosted surfaces, with the frost most apparent over the
figure of Liberty. (#6351)
Exceptional Toned 1869 Half, PR64 Cameo
767 1890 MS67 NGC. Last of the low-mintage half dollars that began
in 1879, only 12,000 coins were struck for circulation in 1890.
Predictably for a coin with such a low mintage, the fields on this
piece are bright and semireflective. This brightness gives added
vibrancy to the golden-rose and pale blue toning seen on each side.
The strike is strong throughout and there are only the tiniest field
marks present, and a loupe is required to see them. Census: 6 in 67,
1 finer (4/10). (#6372)
772 1869 PR64 Cameo NGC. A nicely contrasted survivor from
this 600-coin proof issue, the present near-Gem boasts lightly but
thoroughly toned surfaces that nonetheless allow the passage of
radiant luster. Golden central tones cede to ice-blue and amber
near the rims on the obverse, while deeper amber-gold on the
reverse gives way to violet near the margin. A well-struck piece,
save for IN GO and the scroll nearby, and exceptionally attractive.
(#86427)
Prized PR64 Cameo 1875 Half
769 1891 MS63 PCGS. The medium cream-gray toning displays hints
of olive, rose, and tan, especially near the rims. Satiny and nicely
struck with unmarked surfaces save for light horizontal hairlines on
the right obverse field. (#63 73)
PROOF SEATED HALF DOLLARS
770 1858— Polished—NGC Details. Proof. A sharply detailed proof
with light silver surfaces and a touch of peripheral gold toning.
Some slight surface roughness is noted, with evidence of polishing
on each side.(#6412)
Rarely Seen Cameo 1858 Half, PR63
773 1875 PR64 Cameo PCGS. Rich gold-gray, lavender, and yellow
shadings drape this near-Gem but do little to dim its essential
contrast. Both sides sport impressively frosted and sharply struck
devices, though the reverse has a slightly bolder cameo effect.
Minor hairlines under the patina account for the grade. Population:
5 in 64 Cameo, 2 finer (4/10). (#86436)
774 1881 PR63 NGC. Type Two Reverse. This desirable proof is in
demand due to the rarity of associated business strikes. Some design
weakness is evident on the reverse. Both sides have pleasing gold
and iridescent toning. (#6442)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 143
Charming 1883 Half Dollar, PR65
111 1883 PR65 PCGS. This charming Gem boasts pinkish-gold and
sky-blue original patina clinging to lustrous surfaces that show
considerable contrast, although not deep enough for a Cameo
designation. This piece shows some minor contact in the left
obverse field, scarcely seen without a strong loupe. (#6444)
778 1884 PR63 NGC. Caramel-gold enriches this lightly toned and
boldly struck Select proof Seated half. Cameo contrast is modest but
palpable. A nearly imperceptible fingerprint fragment is observed
near star 13. A scant 875 proofs were coined.(#6445)
779 1884 PR64 NGC. The left foot of the 1 in the date is recut.
Mostly brilliant with hints of tan-gold at the margins. Precisely
struck and free from contact marks. Icy devices suggest a Cameo
designation, but none is forthcoming from NGC. (#6445)
Gem Cameo Proof 1888 Half Dollar
780 1888 PR65 Cameo NGC. Wispy gray toning graces intense
mirrors and thickly frosted devices alike on this attractive Gem,
and the margins offer a faint undercurrent of gold. Excellent overall
eye appeal for this later proof Seated half issue, though a few trivial
faults are noted in the right obverse field. (#86449)
BARBER HALF DOLLARS
781 1892 MS64 NGC. CAC. Swirling, frosty luster with glimpses
of gold against silver-white surfaces. A well struck near-Gem
with great eye appeal for this first-year issue, an ideal type coin.
(#6461)
Originally Toned 1894-0 Half, MS64
782 1894-0 MS64 PCGS. CAC. As one would expect this New
Orleans issue was not extensively saved at the time of issue. Most of
the survivors are clustered in the MS62-64 grade range, and pieces
that are finer are rarely encountered. This is a deeply and obviously
originally toned example that has strong underlying mint luster.
The devices are sharply struck for an O-mint half, and there are
only the smallest abrasions present. (#6469)
783 1900 MS64 NGC. CAC. Dusky lavender-rose patina drapes the
centers of this lovely near-Gem, while the margins offer glints
of green-gold. Satiny and captivating. Census: 51 in 64, 16 finer
(4/10).(#6486)
784 1901-S AU50 PCGS. Greenish-yellow toning with bluish accents
covers both sides, the color a touch lighter on the reverse. Well
struck and without individually significant marks. Population: 9 in
50, 45 finer (4/10).(#6491)
785 1902-0 MS62 PCGS. CAC. A wonderful example, seldom
encountered in any Mint State grade, this 1902-0 Barber half
dollar is attractively toned with gold iridescence over frosty luster.
Population: 6 in 62, 30 finer (4/10).(#6493)
1907-0 Barber Half Dollar, MS65
Seldom Encountered In Gem Condition
786 1907-0 MS65 PCGS. From a large mintage of nearly 4 million
pieces, the 1907-0 Barber half dollar is surprisingly difficult to
locate at the Gem level. To date, PCGS has certified only 14
examples in MS65, with seven finer; while NGC has graded only
17 specimens at the Gem level, with 10 finer (4/10). The present
coin is sharply struck, with mostly brilliant surfaces, touched here-
and-there with shades of gray and green at the borders. (#6510)
Lustrous 1908 Barber Half, MS67
787 1908 MS67 NGC. The 1908 is a slightly better date, and in Gem
and finer grades is quite challenging. This piece is untoned silver-
white. Ebullient luster shows on both sides, each of which has been
well cared for. The design features are well defined, save for the
usual minor softness in the upper right shield corner and arrow
feathers. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (4/10). (#6512)

Finest NGC Certified 1909-S Half, MS66 ★
788 1909-S MS66 ★ NGC. The 1909-S half dollar is a somewhat
overlooked issue within the Barber series at the Gem level of
preservation, even more scarce in better Mint State grades than
its mintage of 1.76 million pieces would suggest. The outstanding
technical merits of this vibrant representative are perhaps surpassed
by the coin’s aesthetic appeal. Untoned centers give way to vivid
shades of russet and turquoise iridescence at the margins. The
only MS66 example out of six graded by NGC to receive the Star
designation, with none finer (5/10). (#6518)
One of the Finest Known 1912-D Halves, MS66
Ex: Eliasberg
789 1912-D MS66 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. The 1912-D half dollar,
with a mintage of 2.3 million pieces, is one of the most, if not the
most, common date in the Barber half dollar series. However, the
“common” descriptor ends with the MS64 grade classification;
MS65 coins are scarce, Premium Gems are rare, and finer examples
are unknown. This MS66 coin displays glowing luster from silver-
gray surfaces that are peppered with speckles of olive-tan, especially
on the obverse. The design elements are well impressed throughout.
Census: 8 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Eliasberg Collection (Bowers and M erena, 5/97), lot 2127.
(#6525)
793 1893 PR64 Cameo NGC. A Choice proof 1893 half dollar, this
piece exhibits desirable field to device contrast with light violet
and iridescent toning. Faint slide marks on Liberty’s cheek prevent
an even higher grade. Census: 26 in 64 Cameo, 44 finer (4/10).
(#86540)
Beautiful 1893 Barber Half, PR65 Cameo
794 1893 PR65 Cameo NGC. Business strike 1893 half dollars are
seldom seen in high grades, placing extra demand on the proofs.
Gem Cameo proofs like this piece are especially desirable. Both
sides have brilliant and untoned silver surfaces with excellent
contrast. The design elements are bold, and the overall appearance
is first rate. Census: 12 in 65 Cameo, 32 finer (4/10). (#86540)
Starkly Contrasted 1893 Barber Half
PR67 Cameo
795 1893 PR67 Cameo NGC. Astonishing contrast is seen on each
side of this all-brilliant second year of issue. The fields were
polished with such vigor that the process also brightened the area
just below Liberty’s ear. As one would expect from a coin in such
high grade, there are no discernable contact marks on either side.
Just a splendid early Barber type coin. Census: 12 in 67 Cameo, 2
finer (4/10). (#86540)
790 1913-D MS64 PCGS. Lustrous light silver-gray in the centers
with dots of blue-green and gold near the rims. Slightly soft on
certain obverse stars but well struck elsewhere. Population: 66 in
64, 12 finer (4/10).(#6528)
PROOF BARBER HALF DOLLARS
791 1892 PR64 NGC. Attractive blue-green and rose-red toning
enrich the borders. The ice-white devices clearly merit a Cameo
designation, which is denied by the early generation holder. HALF
DOLLAR exhibits minute die doubling.(#6539)
792 1893 PR64 Cameo NGC. Consistent light almond-gold toning
graces this boldly struck and undisturbed near-Gem. Only 792
proofs were issued, a considerable reduction in mintage from the
introductory year of the type. Census: 26 in 64 Cameo, 44 finer
(4/10).(#86540)
796 1894 PR64 NGC. The obverse of this splendid proof is sharply
defined, while the reverse has considerable weakness at the
right side of the shield and into the right facing wing. Both sides
have light cameo contrast, although insufficient for the Cameo
designation. This piece has champagne toning that deepens near
the borders. (#6541)
797 1897 PR64 Cameo PCGS. Each side has a hint of tan toning,
but most collectors would regard this well struck proof as brilliant.
Careful study beneath a loupe locates only a few stray field hairlines.
A scant 575 proofs were coined. Population: 23 in 64 Cameo, 23
finer (4/10).(#86544)
798 1900 PR64 Cameo PCGS Secure. Here is an exceptional Cameo
proof from the turn of the century, and the last year that Cameo
proof coins were routinely made at the Mint. Beginning in 1901,
cameo contrast was discouraged. This piece is fully brilliant with
beautiful contrast between the frosty devices and mirrored fields.
(#86547)

Appealing 1900 Barber Half, PR67 Cameo
799 1900 PR67 Cameo PCGS. The entire obverse and half of the
reverse of this Superb Gem Cameo proof displays gorgeous lemon,
lime, and plum toning that creates exceptional eye appeal. Both
sides are fully struck with pristine surfaces and obvious cameo
contrast. Population: 4 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10). (#86547)
Visually Impressive PR67 1901 Barber Half
800 1901 PR67 NGC. This is a visually stunning coin. The obverse
and reverse have different looks, but are equally impressive. The
obverse is nearly brilliant with a pale ring of iridescence, while
the reverse is mostly thalo blue with reddish accents around the
margin. As expected, the surfaces are nearly perfect. There is an
interesting surface anomaly we cannot quite figure out. In the field
in front of Liberty’s mouth, there is an area of what appears to be
an unpolished part of the die, or perhaps porosity in the planchet,
or surface roughness that was not struck out in the proofing process.
Interesting. Census: 16 in 67, 7 finer (4/10). (#6548)
801 1903 PR64 NGC. This brilliant, sharply struck near-Gem proof
appears to have some cameo contrast beneath the deep gold, russet,
blue, and iridescent toning on both sides.(#6550)
Luminous 1903 Barber Half, PR65
802 1903 PR65 NGC. A goodly number of the 755 1903 proof half
dollars have survived to the present day. Dappled yellow-green and
reddish-gold patina runs over the obverse of this luminous Gem
while the reverse consists mostly of splashes of reddish-orange. Well
struck save for the usual weakness in the upper right shield corner.
A few faint hairlines mingling with die polish lines show under
magnification. (#6550)
803 1906 PR63 NGC. Gold-orange border toning with nearly
unpatinated centers that are strongly mirrored. Wispy hairlines and
a couple of pinscratches at Liberty’s lower neck contribute to the
grade. (#6553)
804 1909 PR64 PCGS. The freckled golden-tan toning is somewhat
more apparent on the reverse. Crisply struck, unblemished, and
scarce, since a scant 650 proofs were struck. Population: 54 in 64,
53 finer (4/10).(#6556)
805 1909 PR64 NGC. A lovely near-Gem proof from the issuance of
650 pieces, this example exhibits amber-gold color predominating,
with a ring of ice-blue around the reverse rim. The strike is bold but
not full, and only a couple of tiny slide marks on the cheek appear
to preclude an even finer grade.(#6556)
806 1910 PR64 PCGS. Mildly contrasted on each side with faint
frost over well-defined devices. Pleasingly mirrored but with minor
hairlines that preclude Gem status. Population: 51 in 64, 33 finer
(4/10).(#6557)
807 1914 PR64 NGC. Above-average contrast for the issue, if not
to the Cameo level, with a touch of golden toning against silver
surfaces. Well struck with a few modest hairlines and contact
marks, the latter most visible at Liberty’s lower neck.(#6561)
1914 Barber Half Dollar, PR65
Low Mintage Proof Issue
808 1914 PR65 NGC. From a low mintage of 380 pieces, the 1914
proof Barber half dollar is definitely a scarce date, but more
available than the mintage suggests. Examples at the Gem level are
quite scarce. The present coin displays sharp striking details, with
brilliant reflective fields, and a few wisps of greenish-gray toning on
the obverse borders. Overall visual appeal is stunning. Census: 34
in 65, 51 finer (4/10). (#6561)

B-5, BB-27, Three Leaves
809 1795 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves XF40 PCGS. B-5, BB-27,
R.l. Die State III. The extra tine of metal in the left obverse
field makes this attribution simple. In the common Die State III,
a small die crack extends to the rim from the left stem end on
the reverse. This is a bright silver-gray example, well-struck, with
darker lavender and violet around the device outlines. Abrasions
are minor, save for a single long scrape through the eagle’s breast
and a small tick just below Liberty’s eye. There are no visible
adjustment marks on either side. The moderate wear is consistent
with the grade. A pleasing type example of this most-available early
dollar issue. (#6852)
810 1795 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves—Improperly Cleaned—NGC
Details. XF. B-5, BB-27, R.l. The short diagonal bar in the upper
left obverse field immediately identifies the B-5 variety, the most
plentiful die marriage among all 1795 silver dollars. This piece is
nicely defined with deep gold and iridescent toning on top of its
cleaned obverse and reverse surfaces. Minor adjustment marks are
evident on the reverse. (#6852)
811 1795 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves—Improperly Cleaned—NGC
Details. XF. B-5, BB-27, R.l. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III.
A well detailed Flowing Hair dollar that has attractively retoned.
The borders are powder-blue and apple-green, the fields are
golden-brown, and the devices are cream-gray. The highpoints are
hairlined, as is the obverse field, but otherwise only lightly abraded.

812 1795 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves XF40 PCGS. B-l, BB-21,
R.2. Ex: Hesselgesser. The five prominent rear hair curls with an
added sixth faint one attributes the obverse, along with the lowest
hair curl pierced by star 1. The Two Leaves reverse is identified
by leaves ending under the left upright of the E in STATES and
midway under the last S. This is a lovely coin with lilac and orange
coloration on the obverse, and a consistent silver-gold reverse.
Both sides emanate considerable remaining luster, and a patch of
small adjustment marks is well-hidden in the hair. This well-struck
piece shows much detail on Liberty’s flowing hair and on the eagle’s
wing feathers. (#6853)

Colorful AU 1795 Draped Bust Dollar
Off Center Bust, B-14, BB-51
813 1795 Draped Bust, Off Center AU50 NGC. B-14, BB-51,
R.2. The misplaced device punch suggests that B-14 was struck
before B-15 (since practice makes perfect), which would mean
that B-14 was the first Draped Bust marriage of any denomination.
Rich navy-blue, golden-brown, and olive-green toning blankets
this lightly abraded Draped Bust silver dollar. Wear on Liberty’s
cheek and shoulder is moderate, and the hair, wreath, and borders
shimmer with luster. A few minor adjustment marks are as made
and relegated to the reverse border near 7 o’clock. (#96858)

The sole Large Letters variety aside from the extremely rare B-6.
Deep cobalt-blue, lavender, and stone-gray embrace this bagmark-

within the legends, hair, and wreath. (#6860)

Large Letters, AU Details
816 1796 Small Date, Large Letters—Improperly Cleaned—NGC
Details. AU. B-4, BB-61, R.3. A heavy die lump above the 1 in
the date identifies this obverse die. The Large Letters reverse only
appears on B-4 and B-6, the latter a major rarity. That leaves the
B-4 as the only Large Letters variety available to most collectors.
This piece has light hairlines and other imperfections beneath
gunmetal-blue and iridescent toning. (#6860)
Pleasing 1796 B-l, BB-66 Dollar
817 1796 Small Date, Small Letters PCGS Genuine. B-1, BB-66, R.4.
The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or
perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable.
In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen.
The damage on this piece consists of a small, hidden X scratch
on the right facing wing. Otherwise, it is a pleasing piece with
original deep gray surfaces and excellent design definition. (#6859)
818 1797 10x6 Stars, Large Letters—Graffiti, Improperly Cleaned—

State III. Illegible graffiti scribbles are seen in several places on
this once-wiped Small Eagle dollar. Thin granular streaks are noted
near the chin, ear, and hair ribbon, and the mottled russet-brown,
stone-gray, and ocean-blue toning appears artificial. Still a scarce
and widely pursued early crown-sized type. (#6865)

I. Golden-brown and electric-blue alternate across this impressively
detailed early dollar. A diagonal scratch on the field near the nose
and a thin mark from the rim to the D in UNITED, but otherwise
free from consequential abrasions. Unimportant adjustment marks
(as made) are noted on the upper reverse.(#6873)

822 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF40 NGC. B-29, BB-119, R.4.
The famous Obverse 13 with distinct die crack network in the date
area, paired with a reverse that has the F in OF over the left half of
the cloud below rather than the edge. Glimmers of luster enliven
lightly worn surfaces toned in gold, rose, and gray shadings. A rim
bump is noted near the left upright of the U in UNITED on the
reverse. (#6873)
Lovely 1797 B^3, BB^71 Dollar, AU53
821
819 1797 10x6 Stars, Large Letters AU53 NGC. B-3, BB-71, R.2.
Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. The unusual star arrangement of
10 stars left and only six right easily identifies this pairing, along
with the lapping always seen on the highest hair curl below the
B of LIBERTY. The reverse shows the Large Letters style, with
eight berries on the left branch and a leaf terminating under the
middle of E in STATES. The Die State III shows some of the
palm leaves partially lapped away. This pleasing 1797 dollar has
intermingled light gray and cobalt-blue toning over its light silver
surfaces. Considerable frosty luster remains on both sides. This is
an exceptional example for the dollar specialist or type collector.

B-25, BB-123
823 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF40 PCGS. B-25, BB-123, R.4.
The reverse shows the Line Star Pattern with the two center stars
in the top row overlapping the clouds. Hints of gold toning are
evident on each side, and somewhat deeper on the devices. The
surfaces have trivial grade-consistent marks, and the surfaces display
noticeable brightness especially in the fields. (#6873)

9x7 Stars, Large Letters, B-l, BB-73
820 1797 9x7 Stars, Large Letters XF40 NGC. B-l, BB-73, R.3.
An early die state, with the die flaw adjacent to star 9 still present.
The current example is mostly untoned, although a light dusting of
yellow, green, and russet toning is located around portions of the
periphery. Planchet striations, as made, are scattered about both
sides. (#6863)

825 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9 XF45 ICG. B-8, BB-125, R.2.
This is the only 1798 dollar variety that has only four berries in
the branch on the reverse. The top row of stars is separated into
three groups of two stars each. Both sides have attractive light gray
surfaces that retain traces of luster. (#6873)

826 1798 Large Eagle, Pointed 9—Stained—NGC. AU Details.
B-15, BB-112, R.3. Highly lustrous with satiny silver surfaces, this
splendid dollar has excellent design definition with light gray-gold
toning on both sides. Only a trace of wear is noted on the design
high points of this spectacular piece. The NGC description refers to
a small dark toning splash on the obverse. (#6873)
1799/8 15 Stars Dollar, B^3, BB^141, AU Details
827 1799/8 15 Stars Reverse—Harshly Cleaned—NGC Details.
AU. B-3, BB-141, R.3. The obverse has dentil clashing and
the reverse has several cracks and clash marks. The surfaces are
impaired as NGC suggests, but the existing detail and overall
appearance is pleasing with splashes of blue and iridescent toning.
(#6883)
828 1799 7x6 Stars—Cleaned—ANACS. VF Details, Net Fine
15. B-5, BB-157, R.2. Fine hairlines are visible over light gray
surfaces, and a rim bruise is seen at 1 o’clock on the reverse. The
design elements are pleasing for the moderate level of wear. A
shallow cut is noted on Liberty’s jawline.(#6878)
Original 1799 7x6 Stars Dollar
B-12, BB-160, XF
829 1799 7x6 Stars XF40 PCGS. B-12, BB-160, R.3. Die State III.
Star 1 is further away from the lowest hair curl than on the similar
B-9, BB-166 obverse, and stars 11-13 are tightly bunched up. The
reverse has no berries, and the U in UNITED is missing its upper
left serif. In this advanced die state, a die crack extends both left
and right from the 1 in the date, while a second crack joins the
first 9 with the 7 and second 9. This is a pleasing, original powder-
gray piece that has appeal suggestive of a slightly higher grade.
Muted luster is still present under a glass, and the fields reveal
some iridescent color. No adjustment marks are visible, and much
pleasing detail appears on each side. (#6878)

obverse die cracks. Retoned in deep navy-blue, plum-mauve, and

much of its initial detail. The right obverse field has a hint of
granularity, but abrasions are surprisingly absent. (#6878)

the wings and other device elements. Hairlines are present but
relatively unobtrusive. (#6878)

only slight touches of wear on the high points of the design. The

Die State V. Bolender-9 is sometimes called the “Apostrophe”
variety, due to the vertical die break after the second S in STATES.
A splendid Choice AU representative that boasts dusky lavender
and gunmetal-gray toning. Shimmering luster threatens to roll
across the open fields, and wear is limited to highpoints such as
Liberty’s cheek and shoulder. Uncommonly free from abrasions for
a briefly circulated early dollar. (#6878)
834 1799 8x5 Stars AU55 NGC. B-23, BB-159, R.2. There are 22
known varieties of the 1799 Draped Bust dollar, but only the BB-159
variety has the obverse stars arranged in an 8x5 pattern. This
unique arrangement of obverse stars has attracted collector interest
since the early days of the hobby, and examples of this die marriage
typically command a considerable premium over other varieties
of similar rarity. As far back as the sale of the Cohen Collection
(Cogan, 10/1875) catalogers were noting this distinctive variety,
and collectors responded with spirited bidding. Lot 529 of that
famous sale reads, “1799 5 stars facing. Unusually good for this rare
type.” The lot sold to dealer John W. Haseltine for $4, compared to
the $2 paid for the “Very beautiful impression” 7x6 stars coin offered
in the previous lot. Most examples seen are in lower circulated
grades, and the issue is rare at the AU55 level. Currently, NGC has
graded four examples in AU55, with three finer; while PCGS has
certified only three specimens in AU55, with two finer (4/10).
The present coin is a pleasing, well preserved specimen, with
only a touch of wear on the high points of the design. The coin
was sharply struck, and significant traces of mint luster cling to the
surfaces. No mentionable distractions are noted. (#6881)
835 1800—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Fine. B-4, BB-186,
R.4. This circulated Heraldic Eagle dollar is cloudy from hairlines,

Small reverse rim nicks are noted at 12:30 and 6:30.(#6887)
836 1800—Damaged—NGC Details. VF. B-12, BB-184, R.3.
Bowers-Borckardt Die State II. Two small roundish marks affect
the R in LIBERTY, the reverse rim is nicked at 10 o’clock, and the
surfaces are moderately glossy from cleaning. Toned honey-gold
and stone-gray with traces of luster in design crevices.(#6887)

1800 silver dollars, with a surviving population estimated at about
125 to 135 coins, the same population as the 1794 silver dollar.
This later die state piece has a crack from cloud 7 to the right wing,

distinguished because the right foot of all of the T’s is missing.
Pale silver-gray patina is accented by russet toning around the
perimeter. This evenly worn and nicely detailed specimen has
only insignificant scattered abrasions. A charming, well-centered

841 1801—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. B-4, BB-214,
R.4. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III with a slender die crack at
12:30 on the reverse. Slightly glossy from cleaning, but the caramel-
gold and ice-blue toning largely conceals the obverse hairlines.
Remaining luster is substantial, and wear is limited to highpoints
such as the breast feathers. (#6893)

parallel hairlines. Small marks are distributed, but no scratches
stand out. (#6898)
843 1802 Narrow Date Fine 12 PCGS. B-6, BB-241, R.l. A
significantly worn but fundamentally pleasing example of this

to the fourth feather confirm the variety. Light gray surfaces display
traces of luster in the recessed areas and are minimally marked.

B-6, BB-255
847 1803 Large 3 XF45 NGC. B-6, BB-255, R.2. Bowers-Borckardt
Die State III. Pockets of peach-tinged luster fill design recesses of
this predominantly dove-gray early dollar. A few tiny marks on
Liberty and the right obverse field fail to deny the imposing eye
appeal. B-6 likely supplied the early 1804 delivery that led officials
to strike 1804'dated novodels decades later. (#6901)
GOBRECHT DOLLAR
1836 Gobrecht Dollar, Fine 12 Details
Die Alignment I
848 1836 Name on Base, Judd-60 Original, Pollock-65, R.l—
Damaged—AN ACS. Fine 12 Details. Silver. Plain Edge. Die
Alignment I (the center of Liberty’s head is opposite the DO in
DOLLAR). This piece appears to lack the die clash mark above
the eagle’s wing, but it difficult to say with certainty because of
the extensive wear. If so, this would be an unusual find as many of
the 400 early December strikings have survived in relatively high
grade as they were saved as mementoes. Not so with this coin.
This is actually not the lowest grade we have seen for an 1836. We
have handled several PR 4 coins—one of which brought $9000!
The surfaces show heavy, extensive wear and there are several
olive colored diagonal grease stains on the reverse that apparently
are grease stains that were struck into the planchet at the time of
manufacture. The damage is seen at the top of the reverse in the
form of several zigzag scratches. (#11225)
SEATED DOLLARS
849 1842 AU53 PCGS. CAC. Ivory surfaces host faint traces of gold
toning on both sides of this highly lustrous AU silver dollar. A few
minor abrasions on each side are typical of these large silver dollars.
(#6928)
850 1843 MS60 PCGS. CAC. This pleasing Mint State piece is
entirely brilliant with white-silver surfaces, save for a few splashes
of darker color on the high points. Both sides are relatively mark
free, with no obvious or distracting abrasions. Regardless of the
date, full Mint State silver dollars from the 1840s are highly elusive.
Population: 4 in 60, 35 finer (4/10). (#6929)
1844 ‘Quad Stripes’ Seated Dollar, AU58
851 1844 AU58 ANACS. Breen-5431. The so-called “Quad Stripes”
(Bowers-Borckardt) variety, as apparently on all business strikes,
also called the “armpit variety” by Breen. The shield stripes on the
obverse are quadrupled from die-doubling, and an extra top loop
of the 8 appears in the bottom folds of Liberty’s gown. The reverse
shows many die file lines under the eagle’s left (facing) wing (and
quite a few under the right wing), and in-between the shield stripes
on the reverse. This piece is silver-white with a touch of amber-gold
around the rims, and it retains essentially all of its original luster.
The small mintage of 20,000 coins makes this an in-demand issue
at the near-Mint State level. (#6930)
Conditionally Rare 1844 Dollar, MS62
852 1844 MS62 PCGS. Breen-5431. This quad-stripes dollar was
coined from a doubled obverse die, as are all 1844 business strike
dollars. The reverse has heavy die lines above and below the eagle’s
wings and behind the vertical shield stripes. The 1844 Seated dollar
is a rare date in all grades, and an important condition rarity in
Mint State grades. This example has frosty luster beneath violet,
gold, and iridescent toning. Both sides have the usual tiny surface
marks consistent with the grade. Population: 13 in 62, 11 finer
(4/10). (#6930)

853 1845 MS61 NGC. The 1845 is exceedingly rare in Mint State,
and none have been certified higher than MS64. Soft ice-blue and
gold -beige patina dominates both sides of this semiprooflike MS61
example, each of which displays lavender and orange accents.
Well struck except for weak centrils in the right-border stars. Light
handling marks limit the grade. Census: 7 in 61, 8 finer (4/10).
(#6931)
854 1846 AU55 NGC. Soft gold-orange and blue shadings layer over
gray on this lightly circulated and still-lustrous Seated dollar. A dot
of deeper color is noted to the left of Liberty’s left (facing) hand.
(#6932)
855 1846 AU58 PCGS. Significantly mirrored beneath a thin layer of
gold-gray patina. Just a touch of rub affects the high points of this
attractive piece, better-defined and with fewer abrasions than most.
(#6932)
Toned Uncirculated 1846 Seated Dollar
856 1846 MS61 NGC. In circulated grades, the 1846 is one of the
more frequently seen Seated dollars. However, Uncirculated pieces
are predictably scarce, especially in higher grades. This MS61
example is one of the more available grades in mint condition. The
fields on each side show the usual bright semiprooflikeness, which
is apparent even through the medium density gray-golden toning.
The striking details are just a bit short of complete, and there are
a number of small to medium sized chatter marks in the fields that
account for the grade. Census: 14 in 61, 55 finer (4/10). (#6932)
857 1846-0 XF45 PCGS. CAC. The first New Orleans Mint silver
dollars were coined in 1846, with a mintage of 59,000 coins. Four
years passed before the Louisiana coinage facility struck another
silver dollar. This pleasing Choice XF example has natural deep
gray and steel patina with hints of gold and violet toning. Light
surface marks are typical of the grade. (#6933)
858 1847 AU58 NGC. Gold-gray toning accented in orange and
peach prevails on this near-Mint Seated dollar. Dots of deeper color
are present mostly at the margins. Abrasions are few.(#6934)
859 1849 MS61 NGC. Judging from the certified populations, it
appears that most examples of this 62,000-coin mintage circulated
to at least some extent, with other perhaps shipped to the Orient.
This Mint State piece offers broader appeal than the grade might
suggest, with the luster a bit muted by lovely patina in shades of
pinkish-gold and ice-blue. The strike is adequate, and neither side
reveals overt abrasions. Census: 16 in 61, 43 finer (4/10). (#6936)
1860-0 Seated Liberty Dollar, MS62
Popular Type Issue
860 1860-0 MS62 PCGS. From a reported mintage of 515,000 pieces,
the 1860-0 Seated Liberty dollar is one of the more available dates
in the series, and a popular choice with type collectors. The present
coin is sharply struck, and displays vibrant mint luster. A scattering
of insignificant handling marks on both sides accounts for the
grade. (#6950)
Appealing Select Mint State 1860-0 Seated Dollar
861 1860-0 MS63 PCGS. Apparently a number of bags of this issue
were disbursed during the Treasury silver dollar releases of the
1960s, although the estimated number varies considerably. This
Select Mint State piece is finer than most certified, however,
with radiant cartwheel luster over golden-gray surfaces. The strike
is fairly sharp overall, but inexplicably blunt on the first A in
AMERICA and oppositely at Liberty’s sandal. A few scattered ticks
account for the grade on this appealing coin. Population: 70 in 63,
28 finer (4/10). (#6950)

Flashy, Low-Mintage 1862 Silver Dollar, MS64
862 1862 MS64 NGC. The Mint’s effort at keeping gold and silver
coins circulating during the Civil War was a fruitless effort. By
midyear banks and even the U.S. Treasury had stopped paying
out gold and silver coins at face value. The mintage of 1862 silver
dollars was a token 11,500 coins. This attractive silver-gold near-
Gem example has a strike that is close to full, with only minimal
high-point abrasions, chiefly on the obverse, that account for the
grade. As one would expect from a coin with such a low mintage,
the fields are brightly reflective, even through the toning present
on each side. Census: 24 in 64, 2 finer (4/10). (#6952)
863 1863 XF40 PCGS. A deeply toned example of this Civil War date
with thick violet-gray patina overall and lighter hues at the rubbed
high points. Minimally abraded but with a significant rim bump at
9 o’clock on the obverse.(#6953)
1870-CC Dollar, AU55
First-Year Carson City Issue
864 1870-CC AU55 PCGS. Variety 2-E. This lightly circulated
example is sharply struck and well detailed. The 1870-CC is even
more challenging than its low mintage of 11,758 pieces would
suggest, primarily because of extensive circulation in the West and
subsequent attrition. The smooth, lightly abraded surfaces display
light hairlines, along with pleasing light olive-gold color. The most
notable surface blemish is a scrape in the upper right obverse field,
just to left of star 10. A tan toning spot resides on the lower reverse
rim, above the E in ONE. Modest luster helps to provide a nice
degree of eye appeal. Population: 36 in 55, 30 finer (4/10). (#6964)
Well-Defined 1870-CC Dollar, Unc Details
865 1870-CC—Improperly Cleaned—NCS. Unc Details. Variety
2-A. The first-year Carson City issue of any denomination. Fully
struck with all devices boldly defined. The notation on the NCS
label correctly refers to a lack of luster, especially considering the
Uncirculated details. However, the signs of cleaning do not include
excessive hairlines like many others with the same designation.
Some of the lines observed on both sides are actually die polish
lines and are not the result of the impairment. This pale-gray piece
represents an attractive alternative for a collector seeking a well-
defined example at a reasonable price. (#6964)
866 1871 AU50 NGC. Light tan and slate toning visits this briefly
circulated Motto type coin. Luster shimmers within the drapery,
plumage, and legends. Marks are trivial save for a hair-thin vertical
line on Liberty’s neck.(#6966)
867 1873—Artificial Toning—NGC Details. Unc. Well struck with
soft luster and no trace of wear. The blue and gold toning over each
side seems to float across the surfaces rather than being bonded to
the metal.(#6971)
PROOF SEATED DOLLARS
Key Date 1858 Seated Dollar, PR62
Rare, Proof-Only Issue
868 1858 PR62 NGC. The 1858 is one of the keys to the Seated dollar
series, not because of its low mintage but because it is a proof-only
date. Estimates of the number struck varies widely. They range from
80 pieces to as many as 600+. The general consensus today seems to
be that somewhere around 300 coins were struck, minus those that
have been subsequently lost to attrition. The fields on this piece are
deeply and brightly mirrored, and when held just so a slight bit of
contrast can be seen against the mildly frosted devices. Each side is
hairlined, explaining the grade, and light toning is evident on both
obverse and reverse that darkens around the margins. The devices
are all completely brought up on each side. Census: 8 in 62, 39 finer
(4/10). (#7001)

Remarkable 1866 With Motto Seated Dollar
PR67 ★ Cameo
869 1866 Motto PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. CAC. Whenever we see
an 1866-dated coin with the newly adopted Motto Reverse
we are reminded of the phenomenal set of first-year type coins
assembled 20+ years ago by Rep. Jimmy Hayes. Not only was
his set remarkable in its completeness but it was especially
noteworthy because of its uniformly high quality. This 1866
dollar is “Jimmy Hayes worthy.”
It is curious that a coin with a mintage of 725 proofs is
actually known in three different die pairings, as listed in
Breen’s 1977 proof Encyclopedia and further detailed in Bowers’
1993 dollar reference. These three die pairings suggest as many
striking periods spaced out through the calendar year. This
piece was struck from the second die pairing that shows the date
slanting up to the right, and on the reverse there is a distinctive
spine that projects from the top of the third leaf.
For sheer visual appeal, this coin would be difficult to
surpass or even duplicate. The fields show the depth of mirrored
reflectivity one would expect of a proof striking. What is
unexpected, and really quite extraordinary, is the thick mint
frost that covers the devices on each side. This, of course,
produces the sharp cameo contrast on each side. The surfaces
are also remarkably problem-free and indicate decades of
untampered preservation, most likely as part of a proof set. The
Star and CAC designations speak volumes about the overall
presentation of this remarkable first-year type coin. Census: 2 in
67 ★ Cameo, 2 finer (4/10). (#87014)

1867 Seated Dollar, PR63
Toned With Motto Type Coin
870 1867 PR63 PCGS. CAC. With a mintage of only 625 proofs, the
1867 typifies why With Motto Seated dollars are a challenge for
type purposes. The devices are intricately detailed on each side, and
the mirrored fields flash strongly beneath the pastel iridescence.
The toning greatly subdues the light hairlines. Population: 72 in 63,
82 finer (4/10). (#7015)
Near-Cameo 1868 Seated Dollar, PR64
871 1868 PR64 NGC. The 1868 is occasionally available in near-
Gem condition, but it seldom displays the level of eye appeal seen
here. That is primarily because of the mint frost seen over the
devices, almost enough to warrant a Cameo designation against the
illimitable depth of reflectivity in the fields. Most of each side is
brilliant but there is a thin ring of golden-brown and cobalt-blue at
the margins. Slightly hairlined. (#7016)
Deeply Reflective 1869 Seated Dollar, PR61
872 1869 PR61 PCGS. This sharply struck specimen has flashy fields
and only a hint of golden toning near the rims. The right obverse
field has faint chatter, and minor planchet granularity is noted near
Liberty’s left (facing) arm. A scant 600 proofs were struck. Encased
in a first generation holder. (#7017)
873 1870 PR61 PCGS. Gunmetal-blue, plum-mauve, and apricot-
gold toning consumes this precisely struck specimen. The obverse
field displays hairlines expected for the grade. The proof 1870 is
significantly scarcer than its mintage implies, since many sets went
unsold and were melted by the Mint. Encapsulated in a green label
holder. (#7018)
1870 Seated Liberty Dollar, PR63
Well Detailed, Reflective Surfaces
874 1870 PR63 PCGS. The reported proof mintage of 1,000 Seated
Liberty dollars in 1870 was the largest since 1861, but the date is
more difficult to locate than certain other dates, like the 1867,
with lower mintages. The present coin displays reflective fields and
sharply detailed devices, with shades of gray, blue, and green toning
on the obverse, and an interesting streak of russet on the reverse.
Population: 55 in 63, 75 finer (4/10). (#7018)
1871 Seated Dollar, PR63 Cameo
Popular Date for Type Purposes
875 1871 PR63 Cameo PCGS. Light honey toning is lightly draped
across this nicely mirrored and fully struck Select specimen. The
reverse field has a few faint abrasions. Frost is generally consistent
across the devices and legends, although it is most prominent on
the figure of Liberty. Only 960 proofs were struck. Population: 12 in
63 Cameo, 10 finer (4/10). (#87019)
876 1872—Artificial Toning—NGC Details. Proof. An exciting
display of electric blue, violet, and iridescent toning rests on the
deeply mirrored surfaces of this undesignated cameo proof. Faint
hairlines are evident beneath the toning. (#7020)
TRADE DOLLARS
Elusive 1873-S Trade Dollar, MS64
877 1873-S MS64 PCGS. Here is one of the major rarities in the Trade
dollar series, an issue that is seldom seen in any Mint State grade.
This Choice Mint State piece has natural light gray patina with
splashes of iridescence on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and
fully lustrous, and the eye appeal is grand. Population: 25 in 64, 4
finer (4/10). (#7033)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 157
MS62 1874-CC Trade Dollar
An Appealing Carson City Type Coin
878 1874-CC MS62 NGC. Tall CC. Period after FINE. In spite of the
enormous mintage exceeding 1.37 million coins, most examples
today are found in lightly to moderately circulated condition,
often with chop marks from a trip to the Orient. The appealing
surfaces are powder-gray with hints of color on both sides, more
prominently on the reverse. A few abrasions, moderate in quantity
but undistracting in severity, and a soft strike on the upper wing
edges account for the grade. A coin with a lot of character despite
some minor drawbacks. Census: 41 in 62, 49 finer (4/10). (#7035)
1875-S/CC Trade Dollar, MS63
Important Die Variety, Strong Luster
879 1875-S/CC MS63 PCGS. FS-501. Q. David Bowers calls the
1875-S/CC Trade dollar the most significant die variety in the
Trade dollar series. The second C is plainly visible to the naked eye,
to the right of the S. The overpunched mintmark was discovered in
the early 1960s, by Texas numismatist Bob Medlar. The 1875-S/CC
was originally thought to be a great rarity, but the issue has become
more available over the years, and today it is only moderately
scarce in lower grades. At the Choice level, the 1875-S/CC is still
very rare, with PCGS reporting only seven examples in MS64 and
six finer; NGC has certified three specimens in this grade, with four
finer (4/10).
The present coin is a delightful specimen, with brilliant surfaces
and vibrant mint luster. The striking details are sharp throughout,
and overall visual appeal is outstanding. (#7040)

Toned Gem 1876 Trade Dollar
Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse
880 1876 MS65 PCGS. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse.
Although the 1876 Trade dollar is known to be a widely saved
issue, the supply of Gem examples from our nation’s Centennial
year is extremely limited. This lustrous, boldly struck specimen is
toned in swirling violet and sea-green shades that scarcely dim the
cartwheel luster beneath. The lower forearm has a few concealed
small marks. Population: 20 in 65, 8 finer (4/10).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2005), lot 7418. (#7041)
1878-S Trade Dollar, MS65
Scarce in Gem Condition
885 1878-S MS65 NGC. The 1878-S Trade dollar with a mintage
exceeding 4 million pieces is one of the more common issues in the
series, though the certified population drops significantly between
near-Gem and Gem. Medium density gray and blue patina bathes
each side of this MS65 example. Semiprooflike fields contrast
against the well struck and frosted devices when the coin is tilted
slightly under a light source. A few faint handling marks are
undisturbing. Census: 23 in 65, 17 finer (4/10). (#7048)
881 1877-CC AU55 ANACS. This briefly circulated Carson City
trade dollar is chiefly untoned, although hints of gold patina visit
the rims. Attractive, scarce, and slightly subdued.
Ex: Houston Signature (Heritage, 11/2007), lot 60783, which realized
$1,437.50.(#7045)
882 1877-S MS60 PCGS. Large S. Light copper-gold toning adorns the
peripheries of this lustrous and sharply impressed Uncirculated type
coin. The fields are lightly abraded for the grade, despite moderate
marks near OF. Encased in a first generation holder. (#7046)
883 1877-S MS62 NGC. Large S. Light silver to peach toning overall
with flickers of deeper color at the margins and scattered dots of
opaque gray and charcoal. Solid eye appeal for this highest-mintage
Trade dollar issue.(#7046)
Elusive Near-Gem 1877-S Trade Dollar
884 1877-S MS64 PCGS. Large S. This pleasing near-Gem has
exemplary luster and only a wisp of golden toning. Marks are few
and unimportant. The strike is intricate, even on Liberty’s hair and
the often-indistinct right (facing) claw of the eagle. An excellent
value relative to higher grades. (#7046)
PROOF TRADE DOLLARS
Intriguing PR62 1873 Trade Dollar
886 1873 PR62 PCGS. One of 865 specimens struck of this initial
proof Trade dollar issue, strongly reflective with silver centers that
give way to gold toning at the margins supplemented by deep peach
across the upper obverse. Hairlines through the fields, most notably
under Liberty’s outstretched arm, account for the grade. (#7053)
887 1874 PR62 PCGS. Period after FINE. A nicely struck specimen
that has noticeable albeit undesignated cameo contrast. Orange-
gold, ruby-red, navy-blue, and jade-green consume the reverse.
Only 700 proofs were coined, and survivors are scarce.(#7054)
888 1875 PR62 PCGS. Type One Reverse. Peach-gold toning clings
to the margins, while the glassy fields and lightly frosted devices
are close to brilliant. Well struck aside from design-characteristic
inexactness on the eagle’s right (facing) claw. Just 700 proofs were
issued. (#7055)
PR62 Cameo 1875 Trade Dollar
889 1875 PR62 Cameo PCGS. Type One Reverse. Earlier Trade
dollar proof issues are unusual with strong contrast, largely due to
improper cleaning and heavy toning. This specimen, lightly toned
in cloud-white with gold accents, offers an attractive exception for
the grade. Bold mirrors show hairlines that show up only at an angle
but are nonetheless enough to preclude Select status. Population: 9
in 62 Cameo, 27 finer (4/10). (#87055)
Session One, Auction #1140 | June 3, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 159
890 1876 — Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Proof. Type One
Obverse. Type Two Reverse. A boldly impressed specimen with
disturbed but still-strong fields. Each side has retoned in various
shades of gold and blue. Appealing despite the cleaning and the
hairlines left behind. (#7056)
891 1877 — Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Proof. Although
sharply detailed and deeply mirrored with peripheral sea-green and
violet toning, this piece exhibits prominent cleaning lines on both
sides. Several years in a brown paper envelope on a sunlit window
sill would so wonders for this piece. (#705 7)
Upper-End PR64 1878 Trade Dollar
With Unacknowledged Contrast
892 1878 PR64 PCGS. First of the proof-only issues, a mere 900
1878 Trade dollars were struck in this year. This piece does not
have a cameo indication on the insert, but the coin certainly has
that appearance. The obverse has deep reddish patina, while the
reverse is just slightly toned. Regardless of the intensity of color, the
field-to-device contrast is evident. Close examination with a loupe
reveals a few light hairlines, but at arm’s length the coin appears
even finer. Population: 69 in 64, 17 finer (4/10). (#7058)
893 1879 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .97 suggests
Environmental Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons,
that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin
has the details of a PR60 specimen that has been lacquered and
cleaned. Sharply impressed but with strong hairlines through fields
that have blue-tint from an application of lacquer.(#7059)
894 1879 PR62 PCGS. Only proof Trade dollars were struck in
Philadelphia, beginning a five-year streak of official proof-only
issues continued by two more enigmatic dates. This strongly
mirrored example has light toning over the mirrors and considerable
(though not Cameo-grade) contrast. Deep violet patina covers
much of the rims, and contact marks are noted around Liberty’s
figure. (#7059)
895 1880 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests
Altered Surfaces are the reason, or one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this piece is a proof
with overly reflective, chromelike surfaces. The strike is sharp and
both sides are untoned. Full cameo contrast is evident. (#7060)
Select Proof 1880 Trade Dollar
896 1880 PR63 PCGS. As the highest-mintage proof Trade dollar
issue, the 1880 became an inevitable favorite among type collectors.
This Select specimen is mildly contrasted through rich patina in
pale cloud-gray with gold elements at the margins. Strong mirrors
are lightly hairlined. While the central devices are solidly struck,
the stars show softness. (#7060)
1880 Trade Dollar, PR65 Cameo
Starkly Contrasted
897 1880 PR65 Cameo NGC. This is a completely brilliant Gem proof
example of this proof-only year in the Trade series. The striking
details are well defined except for Liberty’s hair and adjacent stars.
Excellent cameo contrast and well preserved. The highest proof
mintage of any date of the Trade dollar denomination (1,987
pieces). (#87060)
Iridescent 1881 Trade Dollar, PR64
898 1881 PR64 PCGS. A highly collectible and sought-after date
among the later, proof-only issues. The 1881 had a mintage of only
960 pieces. The remarkable aspect of this piece is how deep the
proof mirrors are in spite of the depth of toning seen over each side.
The surfaces are murky light gray with underlying multicolored
iridescence, a color scheme that, seen here with the bright mirrors,
is definitely attractive. The details are complete throughout and
there are no obvious contact marks. (#7061)
899 1882—Altered Surface—NGC Details. Proof. Butter gold
toning deepens toward the borders of this sharply struck proof-only
Trade dollar. A swirl of subtle lilac above Liberty’s extended arm is
perhaps the cause of the NGC designation. One small spot between
the final two stars, and a few hairlines are noted on the field near
DOLLAR. (#7062)
900 1883 PR62 PCGS. This proof-only specimen has reflective
fields and consistent moderate frost on the eagle. Lightly toned
golden-brown with hints of lavender and cobalt-blue near the rims.
Minutely die doubled on UNITED and 420 GRAINS.(#7063)

MERCURY DIMES
Exemplary 1916 Mercury Dime, MS68 Full Bands
904 1916 MS68 Full Bands NGC. This is an outstanding example of
the first Philadelphia issue of the Mercury dime. Intense mint frost
shimmers over both sides, and the impeccably preserved surfaces
are snow-white and essentially pristine. Anyone searching for the
highest quality in a 1916 dime should seriously consider the current
offering. Census: 14 in 68 Full Bands, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 4/2007), lot 567. (#4905)
905 1916-D Good 6 PCGS. The date and mintmark are bold, as
are all peripheral legends save for minor weakness at the tops of
AMERICA. Stone-gray overall with glimpses of lavender-blue in
protected areas. The famous low mintage series key. (#4906)
In-Demand 1916-D Mercury Dime, VF20
906 1916-D VF20 PCGS. The key-issue 1916-D is a difficult coin in
the range above Fine and below AU, where many collectors seek
but seldom find nice examples. This appealing piece fills the bill,
with mottled powder-gray and orange alternating with silver and
gold tinges on both sides. All of the lines in the fasces are complete
or virtually so, except for the crossing diagonals. A thin contact
mark or two on each side are scarcely worth mention. (#4906)
907 1916-D—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. The 1916-D
Mercury dime is the stuff of numismatic legend, and more than
a few tall tales have been told about them around the proverbial
numismatic campfires. But some of those tall tales are nonetheless
true. One such is the account of the famed New York Subway
Hoard, formed by collector and part-time dealer George Shaw
of Brooklyn and his brother-in-law Morris Moscow, who worked
for the New York Transit Authority from the 1940s to the 1960s.
The hoard contained 45 complete sets of Barber dimes (less the
1894-S, of course) and 24 complete sets of Barber half dollars. Also
included were 166 examples of the 1942/41 overdate—and 241
examples of the 1916-D dime, an astounding total for a key issue
that today is so elusive.
This is a particularly well-defined example. In fact, it displays
complete central band definition. The surfaces are bright from
cleaning, and each side shows irregular mauve toning, but there are
no noticeable abrasions on either side. (#4906)

1916-D Dime, MS62 Full Bands
Consistently Popular Issue
908 1916-D MS62 Full Bands PCGS. The 1916-D dime is one of
those issues that continually generates collector excitement,
irrespective of grade. Paul Green, in a July 26, 2005 Numismatic
News article titled “1916-D Dime Still Maintains Strong Appeal,”
perhaps sums it up best: “Clearly, the years have done little or
nothing to tarnish the reputation of the 1916-D. Demand for it
seems to be consistent, with some who are not collecting Mercury
dimes still wanting a 1916-D for their collection.” This reputation
and concomitant demand clearly manifest themselves in the coin’s
price, as it continues to climb in all grades.
The present MS62 Full Bands specimen displays lustrous surfaces
tinged with whispers of golden-tan, especially in the border areas.
The well-executed strike transcends the Full Bands designation to
encompass all design elements, including sharpness on the hair and
wing feathers, the diagonal bands, and the branches and leaves on
either side of the fasces. A light toning streak appears above the
middle bands. A sharp example for the grade, one that should elicit
spirited bidding. (#4907)
Appealing 1916-D Dime, MS64 Full Bands
Favored Near-Gem Grade Level
909
1916-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. This is a popular grade for
this most-popular Mercury dime, as Gem Full Bands examples are
becoming increasingly pricey as the years roll by. But with lots
of frosted luster over the mostly silver-gray surfaces, no apparent
marks, and a uniformly bold strike, this piece would be a winner
for many collectors, regardless of the date. All of the bands are well
split—not merely the all-important central ones—and the broad
appeal is increased even further by the double-punched mintmark,
one of two such out of the four mintmark styles known for the issue.
PCGS has certified 56 Full Bands coins finer; the finest are a couple
of MS67 Full Bands coins (4/10). (#4907)

Fantastic Gem Full Bands 1916-D Dime
910 1916-D MS65 Full Bands PCGS. November 1916 saw the
Denver Mint’s only delivery of Mercury dimes for the year, and
the 264,000 pieces released then comprised what would become
the costliest and most famous issue for the series. On the 24th
of that month, at a joint meeting of the Mint Director and his
superintendents, the Denver Mint was ordered to strike a large
quantity of quarters to fill a Treasury Department request for
the denomination, according to Lange’s The Complete Guide
to Mercury Dimes (2005). Denver then struck quarters to the
exclusion of all other denominations, including the dime, for
the rest of the year. The 1916-D dime became one of two famous
key dates associated with the 1916 change from the Barber silver
designs, the other being the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter.
Despite its small mintage, an appreciable fraction of the
population survives in better grades. Lange sums up the causes
and effects: “As the first year of issue, more of these coins were
saved in Mint State than would have been the case with an
existing design. Thus, the 1916-D Mercury Dime was spared
from the otherwise certain fate of being uncollectably rare in this
condition.” Lest numismatists think of the 1916-D as anything
but the elusive key it is in Mint State, Lange further notes that “...
the relatively small number of true coin collectors in the Midwest
at that time kept the population of Mint State survivors low.”
Full Bands pieces form a tiny minority of all survivors, and
though they appear occasionally on the market, the offering
of a Gem representative with Full Bands is an uncommon
opportunity. This sharply struck MS65 representative displays
wonderful, slightly satiny luster and excellent definition on the
central devices. A small dot of slate patina appears at the bands
of the fasces, while the remainder of the coin shows delicate
silver-blue toning. This coin offers excellent preservation for
the grade with remarkable eye appeal and is one of the most
desirable examples to enter the numismatic marketplace in
recent memory. The series enthusiast should give this Gem
careful consideration. Population: 32 in 65 Full Bands, 24 finer
(4/10). (#4907)

918
1918-S MS66 Full Bands PCGS. A blazing white coin that shows
strong luster and a good strike throughout. The surfaces are close
to perfection, and a strong loupe will find little fault. We do note a
tiny tick near the back of Liberty’s neck, above the 19 in the date
for identification purposes, and a couple of minute dark specks in
the field before Liberty’s chin. Evidence of die clashing is noted
between the BE of LIBERTY. One of the finer examples known of
this date, with a small cluster seen this fine, and a scant two pieces
graded finer by PCGS. None have been graded finer by NGC, and
only 4 coins have merited this grade level from that service. For the
specialist, this coin would make a welcome addition to an advanced
collection. Population: 17 in 66, 2 finer (5/10). (#4921)
911 1917-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. Pleasing luster and excellent
detail are the defining characteristics of this delightful near-Gem.
A touch of blue-gold patina visits each side. PCGS has graded 41
finer Full Bands examples (4/10).(#4913)
912 1917-S MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Boldly impressed with bright
silver luster tinged with gold at the margins. This elegant Gem is a
solid entry for the date with no individually significant abrasions.
PCGS has certified 73 finer Full Bands coins (4/10).(#4915)
913 1917-S MS66 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. Delicate chestnut-gold
overlies this lustrous and predominantly stone-gray Premium Gem.
The strike is exemplary, the obverse appears pristine, and the
reverse is also well preserved. Population: 63 in 66 Full Bands, 10
finer (4/10).(#4915)
914 1918 MS66 Full Bands PCGS. Lightly toned green-gold with
scintillating mint luster and enviable sharpness on the devices.
Only a shallow facial blemish keeps this outstanding 1918 Mercury
from Superb status. Population: 36 in 66 Full Bands, 4 finer (4/10).
(#4917)
916 1918-S MS66 PCGS. A brilliant and lustrous early branch mint
dime. An above average strike with nearly full bands, although the
tops of UNITED STATES show slight softness. Population: 10 in
66, 1 finer (4/10).(#4920)
Full Bands 1918-S Mercury Dime, MS66
One of the Finest Known
Originally Toned 1918-D Dime
MS64 Full Bands
915 1918-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. Mottled golden-russet surrounds
the rims on each side. The 1918-D is a scarce early Denver issue
with such a strong strike. For those interested in striking details
beyond Full Bands, softness is usually present on base of ONE near
the rim. Population: 85 in 64 Full Bands, 21 finer (4/10). (#4919)
Thickly Frosted Gem Full Bands 1918-S Dime
917 1918-S MS65 Full Bands PCGS. The 1918-D and 1918-S Mercury
dimes are legendary strike rarities within the series, both apparently
created by the respective mints’ attempts to conserve die life by
increasing the “set distance” between dies at the expense of sharp
strikes. Despite the issue’s reputation, this splendid silver-gray Gem
shows a bold strike in all areas, with frosty luster prevailing. There
are no singular marks on either side. Population: 24 in 65 Full
Bands, 19 finer (4/10). (#4921)

922 1920-D MS65 Full Bands PCGS. This lustrous dime is well struck
at the centers, while the margins display moderate incompleteness.
Dappled golden-tan toning is most evident on the right obverse
field. Prominent clashmarks near the profile have been partly
lapped away, along with the bridge of Liberty’s nose. Population: 42
in 65 Full Bands, 19 finer (4/10). (#4931)
1920-S Dime, MS65 Full Bands
Scarce Issue in High Grades
920 1919-D MS65 Full Bands NGC. Despite a mintage of almost
10 million pieces, the 1919-D dime is elusive in the better grades
of Mint State, particularly so with Full Bands. Unfortunately,
peripheral weakness is common on this issue, even on those with
Full Bands. The present Gem offering is a refreshing exception,
for not only are the middle, diagonal, and upper and lower bands
full, but so are the peripheral elements. All lettering near the rim
is sharp, as are the date digits and mintmark. Untoned surfaces
display bright luster and reveal only a couple of inoffensive grade-
consistent marks. A light crack occurs at the L of LIBERTY and
another on the lower left neck. Census: 6 in 65 Full Bands, 0 finer
(4/10). (#4925)
923 1920-S MS65 Full Bands NGC. More than 13 million pieces were
struck of the 1920-S, but no more S-mint dimes were produced
until 1923. By leaving these coins in circulation for two years rather
than the usual one, attrition took a higher toll than usual. As a
result high grade examples, and especially those with Full Bands,
are difficult to locate today. The surfaces are softly frosted, as usual,
and each side has a slight overlay of yellowish-golden patina. The
only mark of note, and it is a slight one, is a luster scrape in the field
below the first U in UNUM. Census: 16 in 65 Full Bands, 4 finer
(4/10). (#4933)
924 1921 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests
Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of an Uncirculated specimen that has been damaged.
This low mintage dime is lustrous and displays original cream-
gray toning. The central bands are nearly fully split. Only lightly
abraded aside from a curved mark on the cheek, likely made by a
mechanical coin counter.
From The Classic Collection. (#4934)
Condition Rarity 1919-D Mercury Dime
MS64 Full Bands
Satiny MS64 Full Bands 1919-S Dime
Sharp 1919'D Gem Full Bands Dime
919 1919-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. The 1919-D is a seldom-seen
issue in all but the most mediocre grades. In near-Gem Full Bands
condition, it is very scarce. This piece has the fine-grain, mattelike
texture so often seen on coins of all denominations from the teens.
Slight toning is also noted over each side, but it is never heavy or
oppressive, and certainly not capable of subduing the underlying
satinlike luster. A few small, almost obscured marks are noted on
close examination in the left obverse field. An original example of
this rare, early issue, housed in an early PCGS holder. Population:
68 in 64 Full Bands, 17 finer (4/10). (#4925)
921 1919-S MS64 Full Bands PCGS. This is undoubtedly one of the
most attractive 1919-S dimes we have offered recently. Both sides
are fully lustrous with satiny surfaces and a trace of light champagne
color. The design details on both sides are sharply detailed, although
the obverse die has been lapped and is completely missing Liberty’s
throat and the bridge of the nose. Population: 35 in 64 Full Bands,
23 finer (4/10). (#4927)
Gem Full Bands 1920-D Dime
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 165
Frosty 1921 Dime, MS64 Full Bands
925 1921 MS64 Full Bands PCGS. The 1921 and 1921-D are the
anomalous low-mintage key coins that follow the large mintages
of the 1920-PDS coins. In the case of the 1921, only 1.23 million
coins were produced, but Gems are more available than such a low
production might lead one to believe. This near-Gem Full Bands
example boasts intense frosty luster over silver-gold surfaces. Minor
weakness appears only on the last two digits of the date. (#4935)
Gem Full Bands 1921-D Dime
Important, Low-Mintage Key Issue
926 1921-D MS65 Full Bands NGC. Aqua, gold, and ruby freckles
of color are scattered around the borders of this lustrous and fully
struck Gem. Careful study beneath a loupe does not locate any
mentionable abrasions. This low mintage branch mint issue has
always been regarded as a semi-key to the Mercury dime series.
Census: 37 in 65 Full Bands, 14 finer (4/10). (#4937)
Well-Struck 1921-D Dime, MS66 Full Bands
With Frosty Luster
927 1921-D MS66 Full Bands NGC. The 1921 and 1921-D Mercury
dime are popular semikey issues in the series, and yet paradoxically, a
few nice pieces survive in Mint State. Those coins could possibly be
the remnants of a small hoard or a couple of Brilliant Uncirculated
rolls from a few decades past. This Premium Gem Full Bands coin
sports silver-white surfaces that are nearly fully struck throughout,
save for a couple of letter tops around the rim. The frosty luster adds
to the appeal. Census: 12 in 66 Full Bands, 2 finer (4/10). (#4937)
MS66 Full Bands 1923-S Dime
Finest NGC-Certified
928 1923-S MS66 Full Bands NGC. After a two-year hiatus of dime
production in the San Francisco Mint, there was a low production
of 6.4 million pieces in 1923. Even among the few high grade pieces
known, the central and diagonal bands are usually ill-defined. Not
so on this piece, though. All three sets of bands are fully brought
up. The bright, lustrous surfaces still show a considerable amount
of brilliance, but each side has significant streaks of blue, rose, and
golden. A terrific example of this scarce S-mint dime from the
1920s. Census: 1 in 66 Full Bands, 0 finer (4/10). (#4941)
929 1924-D MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Light straw-gold and dove-
gray toning enriches this lustrous and pristine Gem. The centers,
including the important central bands, are fully impressed, although
the tops of BERT are incomplete due to the convex nature of the
obverse die. (#4945)
930 1924-D MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Lush forest-green, rose-red,
and dove-gray endow this sharply struck and highly lustrous Gem.
The fields appear essentially immaculate. The date is lightly strike
doubled.
Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 6/2005), lot 5434, which realized
$1,092.50. (#4945)
1925 Dime, MS66 Full Bands
Probable End-of-the-Roll Coin
931 1925 MS66 Full Bands PCGS. It appears that an original roll
must have been broken up and certified as we have three 1925
dimes from the same consignor, two of which (this and the next
MS66) have sequential PCGS numbers. This piece appears to have
been an end coin in the roll as the obverse displays lovely lilac
iridescent toning, while the reverse is brilliant. The softly frosted
surfaces show only the tiniest marks over the fasces, and these are
visible only with the aid of a loupe. (#4949)

Brilliant 1925 Dime, MS66 Full Bands
932 1925 MS66 Full Bands PCGS. This and the other MS66 Full
Bands coin above have sequential PCGS numbers, indicating a
common source for each (probably an original roll). This piece is
brilliant on each side and shows lovely mint frost. The only mark
of note is L-shaped and located at the back of Liberty’s jawline.
Population: 50 in 66 Full Bands, 25 finer (4/10). (#4949)
1925 Dime, MS67 Full Bands
An Outstanding Type Coin
933 1925 MS67 Full Bands PCGS. This piece appears to have
originated from the same source (roll) as the two sequentially
numbered MS66 Full Bands pieces above. However, those coins
end in 16 and 17, and the end number for this piece is 43. The mint
luster seems to actually glow on this example. Each side is mostly
brilliant, but there also are pale horizontal streaks of golden-russet
on the obverse. There are no reportable abrasions, and in short this
is a simply spectacular type coin from the 1920s. Population: 22 in
67 Full Bands, 3 finer (4/10). (#4949)
Sharp 1925 Dime, MS67 Full Bands
934 1925 MS67 Full Bands PCGS. This piece is nearly the finest
quality obtainable, as PCGS has certified only three examples at
the MS68 Full Bands grade level. The surfaces are frosty silver-
white except for a couple of thin bands of golden toning on each
side. The well-executed strike is a plus. Population: 22 in 67 Full
Bands, 3 finer (4/10). (#4949)
935 1925-D MS64 Full Bands NGC. This sharply struck Choice coin
is immensely lustrous with dramatic toning. Peripheral blue, violet,
and tan shadings yield to a mix of silver and gold in the centers.
Census: 56 in 64 Full Bands, 32 finer (4/10).(#4951)
936 1925-S MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Excellent design definition with
potent luster beneath rich patina. Dappled gold, rose, and blue
toning dominates the eye appeal of this S-mint Gem. Population:
58 in 65 Full Bands, 19 finer (4/10).(#4953)
93 7 1926-D MS65 Full Bands NGC. Dappled gold and crimson toning
covers most of this boldly impressed Gem, with the rest of the
obverse pale silver-blue. The reverse adds elements of champagne
and lavender-violet. Census: 34 in 65 Full Bands, 10 finer (4/10).
(#4957)
938 1926-D MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Highly lustrous surfaces display
a slight milky-blue haze, but are otherwise untoned. The strike is
full and the bands on the reverse show full separation. Eye-clean
and very pleasing for the grade. Although it is a better produced
issue than its nickel and quarter counterparts, fully struck Gem
examples are scarce. Population: 72 in 65 Full Bands, 21 finer
(4/10).(#4957)
Full Bands Near-Gem 1926-S Dime
939 1926-S MS64 Full Bands PCGS. A well struck example of this
challenging low mintage branch mint issue. The obverse on its
own appears to merit a finer grade, and the reverse is also well
preserved. Lustrous and lightly toned in olive and straw-gold shades.
Population: 41 in 64 Full Bands, 38 finer (4/10). (#4959)
Lustrous Near-Gem Full Bands 1927-D Dime
940 1927-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. The 1927-D Mercury dime is
better-struck than many D-mint dime issues of the 1920s, but even
so, flat strikes are often found on the issue. This near-Gem piece
offers original silver-gray luster interspersed with areas of muted
burnt orange. A few minor ticks account for the grade, but much
eye appeal is present. Population: 44 in 64 Full Bands, 43 finer
(4/10). (#4963)
941 1927-S MS64 Full Bands PCGS. Bold golden color overall with
elements of silver-lavender in the obverse fields. Bright luster and a
sharp strike complete the eye appeal of this near-Gem. Housed in a
green label holder. Population: 42 in 64 Full Bands, 41 finer (4/10).
(#4965)
942 1928-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. Dots of green-gold, claret, and
violet toning grace the borders of this boldly impressed near-Gem,
while the centers offer full silver luster. High all-around eye appeal.
PCGS has graded 82 finer Full Bands coins (4/10).(#4969)
943 1928-S MS67 NGC. CAC. Large S. A shining and minimally
toned Superb Gem that shows strong definition overall, though the
bands on the fasces show no separation. Beautifully preserved and
gorgeous. Census: 7 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1 / 2008 ), lot 1988.(#4970)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 167
944 1928-S MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Light green-gold toning at the
borders with a few dots and streaks of deep red. The centers are
light silver and immensely lustrous, host to sharply detailed devices.
Population: 54 in 65 Full Bands, 36 finer (4/10).(#4971)
945 1930-S MS66 Full Bands NGC. Light gold to peach overtones
grace frosty surfaces with pale silver-gray color where not toned.
Razor-sharp striking definition and immense eye appeal. Census: 14
in 66 Full Bands, 2 finer (4/10).(#4981)
946 1931-S MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Light silver-blue patina graces
much of this lustrous Gem, though green and reddish-gold elements
are also present at the margins. A sharply struck beauty that is
housed in a green label holder. Population: 51 in 65 Full Bands, 41
finer (4/10).(#4987)
947 1934-D MS67 Full Bands NGC. At first glance the obverse
of this piece looks like a proof with fully mirrored fields, highly
lustrous devices, and excellent cameo contrast. The reverse is frosty
and brilliant, and there is no evidence of toning on either side.
Census: 9 in 67 Full Bands, 1 finer (4/10).(#4991)
948 1942/1-D AU50 PCGS. FS-101. Housed in a green label holder,
this overdate dime has a sharp strike and considerable luster
beneath light gold toning. A faint hairline scratch on the reverse is
the only blemish. (#5040)
949 1942/1-D AU58 NGC. FS-101. Light almond-gold toning
enriches this lustrous key date dime. Friction is difficult to discern,
but we note curved marks on the base of the wing and beneath WE
TRUST. Census: 48 in 58, 9 finer (4/10).(#5040)
1942/1-D Dime, MS64 Full Bands
Rarely Seen This Fine
950 1942/1-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. FS-101. This popular
overdate variety went undetected for some 20 years after its
manufacture, likely because its overdate feature is more subtle than
its P-mint counterpart. Nonetheless, it is surprising that it went
undiscovered for so long, as it is a fairly obvious overdate, as well as
being a doubled die obverse variety. Mint State examples are quite
rare, especially with the Full Bands designation. This near-Gem
specimen offers reddish-gold surfaces with lots of vibrant luster.
Abrasions are minimal. Population: 35 in 64 Full Bands, 28 finer
(4/10). (#5041)
Near-Gem 1942/1-D Overdate Dime, Full Bands
951 1942/1-D MS64 Full Bands PCGS. FS-101. This is an
exceptionally brilliant, frosty coin, mostly white with just bare hints
of toning other than a dark spot near the E in ONE. The few marks
that are visible (mostly under magnification) on the surfaces do not
intrude on the eye appeal in the slightest. Fully struck, as is usual
for the date, with clear band separation. The overdate feature on
the 1942/1-D is not as clear as on its counterpart from Philadelphia,
yet it, and the diagnostic doubled 4, are plain under a loupe. One
has to wonder why it took so many years to discover this overdate
feature. Population: 35 in 64 Full Bands, 28 finer (4/10). (#5041)
Rare 1945 Mercury Dime, MS65 Full Bands
952 1945 MS65 Full Bands ICG. This premium quality 1945-P dime
displays central crossbands that are fully split from end to end—
an uncommon feature for an example of this generally hurriedly
produced wartime issue. Thick, rich, frosty textured luster blankets
both sides and is readily appreciably in the absence of all but the
tiniest blemishes. In fact, both sides present as smooth with a lovely
silver-white sheen. The key to the Mercury dime series at the Gem
Full Bands level. (#5057)

1945 Mercury Dime, MS66 Full Bands
Best-Known Strike Rarity of the 20th Century
953 1945 MS66 Full Bands NGC. Time has proved the 1945-PDS
dimes to be collectibles unto themselves. There is the boldly
clashed “Leaved” Variety, the Die Dot, the Doubled Die Obverse,
High D, D Over Horizontal D, repunched D mintmarks, Trumpet
Tail S, Knob Tail S, S Over S, and of course the Micro S. But the
best known, rarest, and least understood is the 1945-P with Full
Bands. With more than 159 million pieces struck, it should be a
common coin with Full Bands. The fact is, it is the rarest of all
Mercury dimes with fully struck band details. David Lange gives
two possible explanations in his 2005 Complete Guide:
Frosty 1945-S Micro S Dime
MS67 Full Bands
955 1945-S Micro S MS67 Full Bands NGC. The Micro S punch
was created in 1907 for Philippines ten and twenty centavo pieces
struck in San Francisco, and it was last used in 1919 before being
taken out of storage for use on the 1945-S Micro S dime, its sole use
on U.S. coinage. The popular variety was discovered only two years
afterward, in 1947. This piece offers splendid, frosty silver-white
surfaces on both sides with essentially no sign of contact. Census: 3
in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (4/10). (#5063)
PROOF MERCURY DIMES
956 1936 PR64 PCGS. This fully struck near-Gem displays hints
of straw-gold and ice-blue toning. Satin luster shimmers across
unperturbed fields. The key date to the proof series. Housed in a
first generation holder.
From The A LG Collection of Proof Dimes. (#5071)
957 1936 PR65 PCGS. The reverse is stone-white, while the obverse
offers delicate olive-gray toning. This razor-sharp Gem has flashy
fields and exquisite eye appeal. The lowest mintage proof date.
(#5071)
958 1936 PR65 NGC. A fully struck, carefully preserved Gem with
deep golden-green and speckled lilac toning on the obverse.
Lighter coloration graces the sparkling reverse. The fields are
highly reflective and free of individually significant distractions.
(#5071)
959 1936 PR66 NGC. Sharply struck with gleaming and near-brilliant
fields. This is an attractive Premium Gem example of the first
proof Mercury dime issue. NGC has graded 85 numerically finer
specimens (4/10).(#5071)
960 1936 PR66 NGC. The prized initial proof Mercury dime issue,
offered here as a Premium Gem. Watery reflectivity is the chief
highlight of this faintly toned coin. NGC has graded 85 numerically
finer pieces (4/10).(#5071)
“There were only two variables in the minting equation:
One was the collars, as these typically were machined onsite
at each of the different mints. The second variable is the
upsetting mill, which applied a raised rim to each planchet
before it was sent to the coin press. Slight differences in the
diameter of the collar or the curvature of the rims could
result in detectable variations in the finished coins. An
excellent example of this influence is found in the 1921 (P)
dimes, which almost invariably have full bands, yet typi¬
cally are weak at their peripheries.”
To underscore just how challenging the 1945 dime is with
Full Bands, NGC has certified 2,123 coins of this issue in MS66,
non-Full Bands. With Full Bands, a mere six pieces have been
graded (4/10). The surfaces on this example show dazzling mint
brilliance and are fully frosted. There are no mentionable marks,
and of course, the central bands display a complete side-to-side
split. (#5057)
954 1945-S Micro S MS66 Full Bands PCGS. A crisply detailed
example of the curious Micro S variety, carefully preserved with
immense luster. Light green-gold overtones add color to generally
silver surfaces. PCGS has graded only 18 finer Full Bands examples
of the variety (4/10).(#5063)
Colorful PR67 1936 Dime
961 1936 PR67 NGC. Beautiful fire-red, orange, sun-gold, sea-green,
and slate toning graces the margins of this fully struck Superb Gem.
A magnificent representative of this introductory and low mintage
proof issue. A specimen with greater eye appeal would likely prove
impossible to obtain. Census: 83 in 67, 2 finer (4/10). (#5071)
962 1939 PR68 NGC. Spectacular cherry-red, sea-green, and stone-
white alternate across this razor-sharp and pristine Superb Gem.
An aesthetic delight for the enthusiast of patinated proof coinage.
Census: 70 in 68, 0 finer (4/10).(#5074)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 169
963 1942 PR68 NGC. This Superb Gem specimen from the final
proof Mercury dime issue is untoned and gorgeous. Sharply struck
and gleaming, a seemingly perfect coin to the unaided eye. NGC
has graded just one numerically finer example (4/10).(#5077)
PROOF ROOSEVELT DIMES
964 1970 No S PR66 PCGS. The S mintmark was accidentally
omitted from the die used to strike about 2,200 proof Roosevelt
dimes in 1970, creating this sought-after modern issue. Brilliant,
deeply mirrored fields and frosty devices create desirable field-
device contrast on this sharply struck Premium Gem example.
(#5248)
965 1974-S PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. A technically flawless
representative of this clad Roosevelt proof dime issue. Thickly
frosted devices yield to mirrors that show only the faintest evidence
of toning. Population: 13 in 70 Deep Cameo (4/10).(#95252)
966 1983 No S Dime in a 1983 Proof Set. All coins strongly
contrasted, at least Cameo, in the U.S. Mint proof set case of issue
with outer box. The dime itself, like the other cupro-nickel coins,
has a suggestion of golden toning. (#5 265)
WASHINGTON QUARTERS
967 1932 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Richly toned with claret, golden-tan,
violet, and silver shades that appear in patches on the obverse,
while the reverse has a more concentric appearance. Highly lustrous
and elusive any finer, with just two such pieces known to PCGS
(4/10).(#5790)
968 1932-D MS60 PCGS. Mostly brilliant, although the upper obverse
margin offers apple-green and golden-brown toning. Satiny and
minimally abraded. The key date to the regular issue portion of the
series. (#5 791)
969 1932-D MS63 PCGS. Medium dappled lavender-gold and forest-
green encompass this well struck key date quarter. The obverse
is lustrous, and the reverse is satiny. Only a concealed mark on
Washington’s lip precludes an even finer grade.(#5791)
970 1932-D MS63 PCGS. Rich peach and violet hues drape lustrous
surfaces with a silver-gray base. Well struck for this first-year key
with more wispy abrasions than significant marks. (#5 791)
971 1932-D MS63 PCGS. Silver-gray toning covers the devices and
parts of the obverse fields, while the rest of the coin is dappled
green-tan and crimson. A well struck Select example of this popular
and challenging first-year Washington quarter issue.(#5791)
Impressive MS64 1932-D Quarter
972 1932-D MS64 PCGS. Delicate gold toning denies absolute
brilliance, but this key-date near-Gem has dynamic luster and a
powerful strike. Patience and a loupe are required to locate the few
unobtrusive thin marks. The 1932-D is even scarcer than the 1932-
S, despite the slightly lower mintage of the latter. (#5791)
973 1932-S MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Lightly toned save at the
rims, which have deep red-to-orange patina. This well-defined
key-date coin comes close to the next finer grade, though close
inspection reveals small ticks and a handful of wispy abrasions.
(#5792)
974 1932-S MS64 PCGS Secure. CAC. Tan-brown and russet freckles
enrich the margins of this fully struck and lustrous near-Gem. Well
preserved despite minor contact on Washington’s cheekbone. Along
with the ‘32-D, the key date of the long-lived series. (#5 792)
975 1932-S MS64 PCGS. This first year key-date is famous as the
lowest mintage regular issue in the series. A hint of autumn-gold
toning hugs the peripheries, while luster sweeps across the lightly
abraded surfaces. (#5 792)
976 1932-S MS64 NGC. Light peach and gold-gray colors are noted at
the upper right obverse, while the rest of this brightly lustrous near-
Gem has a more silver appearance. Well struck and desirable. NGC
has graded 68 numerically finer examples (4/10).(#5792)
977 1932-S MS64 PCGS Secure. An attractive Choice example of
this popular Washington quarter key, primarily straw-gold with
occasional streaks of gunmetal-gray and apple-green. Lustrous and
sharply impressed with undeniable eye appeal. (#5 792)
Challenging Gem 1932-S Quarter
978 1932-S MS65 PCGS Secure. The 1932-S Washington quarter has
languished in the shadow of its more-elusive sibling, the 1932-D,
for a long time, but the 1932-S in Gem condition is nonetheless
a challenging issue. The obverse of this Gem is mostly silver-
white with sprinkles of cinnamon, while the reverse is more boldly
colored in shades of pinkish-gray, amber, and mahogany near the
rims. The lack of mentionable abrasions qualifies this piece at the
Gem level. Population: 98 in 65, 4 finer (4/10). (#5792)
979 1935-D MS67 NGC. Dappled green-gold and silver surfaces are
attractively lustrous. A well struck example that shows a couple of
small marks at the top of Washington’s head. Census: 12 in 67, 0
finer (4/10).(#5798)
Marvelously Toned 1936 Quarter, MS68
980 1936 MS68 NGC. CAC. A conditional extreme rarity, one of
only two 1936 quarters certified at this level by either service.
Contact appears almost completely absent on this marvelous coin.
The central surfaces are satiny silver-gold, with iridescent rim
toning in deep orange, plum, and mint, and the strike is all that can
be desired. A piece for the Registry Set enthusiasts. Census: 2 in 68,
0 finer (4/10). (#5800)
981 1936-D MS65 PCGS. The 1936-D is a well known conditional
rarity within the series, about twice as scarce in Gem as the 1937-S,
which has less than one-third the mintage. Perhaps the disparity is
due to the plethora of silver commemorative types issued in 1936,
which drew attention away from circulating coinage. A lustrous
Gem with a pleasing strike, outstanding preservation, and rich
golden-brown and gunmetal-blue toning. (#5801)

WALKING LIBERTY HALF DOLLARS
1940-D MS67 NGC. Only 20 Superb Gem 1940-D Washington
quarters have been certified by PCGS, with none finer (4/10), an
important consideration for the Registry Set collector. The present
coin is virtually perfect, with subtle hints of gold toning at the
peripheries. (#5 812)
983 1942-D Doubled Die Obverse MS60 PCGS. FS-101. An
obvious doubled die with extremely thick letters on all obverse
legends. A lustrous and nicely struck example that has light sum
gold and pearl-gray toning. PCGS has certified only seven Mint
State examples, including two under PCGS #145011.(#95818)
Spectacularly Patinated 1943-S Quarter
Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS64
984 1943-S Doubled Die Obverse MS64 PCGS. FS-101. Marked
doubling appears on all of the peripheral elements, most prominent
on the motto. The reverse is gleaming silver-gold with a mere hint
of gold tinge, but the marvelously patinated obverse offers saffron,
mint, and cinnamon in a spectacular melange. Population: 49 in
64, 21 finer (4/10). (#5823)
Colorful 1943-S Doubled Die Obverse Quarter
FS-101, MS65
985 1943-S Doubled Die Obverse MS65 NGC. FS-101. Several
doubled die obverses and doubled die reverses are known for the
wartime (1941 '45) Washington quarters, which would make a nice
specialized collection in and of themselves. Broad die doubling
shows at the bottoms of IN GOD WE TRUST, at the left sides of
LIBERTY, and the right sides of the date, indicating a lateral hub
shift between annealings of a die. This gleaming Gem example has
gold, plum, and steel-blue accents throughout both sides. Census: 9
in 65, 6 finer (4/10). (#5823)
986 1947 MS67 PCGS. Bold gold to orange toning takes on a blush of
rose at the lower obverse border. This brightly lustrous Superb Gem
is well-defined and immensely appealing. Population: 56 in 67, 0
finer (4/10). (#5833)
987 1950-S/D MS66 PCGS. CAC. FS-601. The upright and
curve of the Denver undermintmark bookends the prominent S.
Highly lustrous and essentially brilliant with virtually immaculate
preservation. An outstanding Premium Gem of this popular Guide
Book variety. Population: 29 in 66, 4 finer (4/10). (#5845)
988 1916-D MS64 PCGS Secure. Golden-russet patina clings to the
borders and the eagle, although a majority of this first year near-
Gem is cream-gray. The reverse is splendidly unabraded, while the
obverse field displays only faint abrasions.(#6567)
989 1916-D MS64 NGC. Blue, violet, and cream-gray shadings are
dappled at the borders of this near-Gem, while the centers are
brighter and lustrous. Strong eye appeal for this first-year issue.
(#6567)
990 1916-S MS63 PCGS. Softly detailed on the central devices but
without a trace of wear. Silver-gray toning blankets most of each
side, though the margins are toned gold and peach. (#6568)
1916-S Walking Liberty Half, MS64
Swirling Mint Luster
991 1916-S MS64 PCGS. The 1916-S has the lowest mintage of the
three 1916 issues and it is the most softly struck. This piece displays
above average striking details, but it is still far from complete
with slight softness on all the central design elements. The luster,
however, is superlative with swirling mint frost that is uninterrupted
by any mentionable abrasions. (#6568)
Lovely Gem 1916-S Half
992 1916-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. This first-year San Francisco Walker
issue’s mintage barely topped half a million pieces, and while some
coins were saved due to the design’s novelty, Gem and better pieces
are scarce. This MS65 example has strong central detail and frosty
luster, silver-gray in the centers with gold-orange toning at the
borders. Population: 85 in 65, 14 finer (4/10). (#6568)
993 1917-D Reverse MS62 NGC. A well-defined example of the later
Mintmark on Reverse variety with no trace of wear. Light golden
color visits essentially silver surfaces. Minimally abraded for the
grade.(#6571)

Choice 1917-D Walking Liberty
Reverse Mintmark
994 1917-D Reverse MS64 PCGS. CAC. The price curves of the
1917-D Obverse and Reverse issues cross as the higher Mint State
grades are reached, with the Obverse costing more in low grades
and the Reverse more in high. This indicates that more Mint State
specimens with an obverse mintmark were saved. This piece show
vibrant luster over silver-gold surfaces, and the strike is sharp on
Liberty’s head—an often-weak area on this issue—as well as her
right hand. Good value, and high-end for the grade. PCGS has
certified only 37 finer (4/10).
From The Williams Collection. (#6571)
Lustrous AU58 1917-S Obverse Half Dollar
995 1917-S Obverse AU58 PCGS. The 1917-S Obverse is one of the
scarcer early issues in the Walking Liberty series. Less than a million
coins were produced, and very few were set aside in Uncirculated
grades. This coin is oh so close. The surfaces are a bit subdued with
a bit of high point brightness that indicates slight handling. Both
sides are gray-brilliant with a tinge of golden. The strike is a bit soft
on the central design elements, and there are only small abrasions
scattered about this mostly still-lustrous example. (#6572)
996 1917-S Reverse MS62 NGC. An original and lustrous early
branch mint Walker that has almond-gold fields and ice-blue
highpoints. Marks are refreshingly inconsequential. In 1917, the
mintmark was moved to the reverse at 7:30, a position consistent
with that of the then-contemporary Mercury dime and Indian gold
coins. (#65 73)
997 1917-S Reverse MS63 PCGS. Delicate olive-gold toning visits
the borders of this otherwise pearl-gray Select half dollar. Early
branch mint Walkers are known for their conditional scarcity, and
the present sharply struck and unblemished example will please the
fastidious collector.(#6573)
998 1917-S Reverse MS64 PCGS. The time in which mintmarks
appeared on the obverse of the Walking Liberty half was brief, and
in 1917, just the second year of issue, the vast majority of 1917-
S halves were made with the mintmark on the reverse, like this
near-Gem. Gold-orange, lavender, and silver shadings cover most
of each side, with the toning deepest at the upper reverse. Striking
softness is visible through the centers. PCGS has graded 44 finer
pieces (4/10). (#6573)
999 1918 MS64 PCGS. The strike is essentially full, and the lightly
toned and minimally abraded surfaces are awash in luster. Despite
its mintage and Philadelphia origin, the 1918 is scarce at the MS64
level. Housed in a green label holder.(#6574)
1000 1918 MS64 NGC. Small dots and dashes of deep red toning visit
the margins of this near-Gem, lustrous with pale silver-gray centers.
Better-defined than the norm and without individually significant
abrasions.(#6574)
1001 1918-S MS63 PCGS. This conditionally scarce early S-mint
example has medium caramel-gold toning and a good strike. The
satiny surfaces are surprisingly unabraded. The highpoints display a
whisper of gray patina.(#6576)
1002 1918-S MS63 PCGS. The rich dove-gray surfaces are overlaid by
minute freckles of russet patina. This satiny World War Walker has
a good strike and a mark-free reverse. The right obverse field has
only unimportant contact.
From The Williams Collection. (#6576)
Difficult Gem 1919 Walking Liberty
1003 1919 MS65 PCGS. Untoned and lustrous with attractively
preserved surfaces. A good strike with only minor incompleteness
on Liberty’s head. The dies clashed and were subsequently polished,
leaving raised die lines throughout the fields. Faint clashmarks
are nonetheless evident beneath the eagle’s beak and the TR in
TRUST. Population: 52 in 65, 23 finer (4/10). (#6577)

Sharply Defined 1919-S Walking Liberty Half, MS63
1004 1919-S MS63 PCGS. The 1919-S is the second rarest coin in the
65--coin Walking Liberty series—second only to the 192 US. This
is in spite of the fact that the S'tnint had the highest mintage of
the three mints in this year. Fewer coins were set aside from San
Francisco, and today any Uncirculated 1919'S is a coin worthy of
consideration. This is an interesting and impressive coin, especially
for the grade. The surfaces are mostly untoned in the centers and
surrounded by patchy russet and pale iridescence at the margins.
The strike is strong throughout with the often'encountered
separation between the thumb and forefinger of Liberty. The bright
mint luster is interrupted by a few small abrasions, few of which are
noticeable without a loupe. (#6579)
1005 1920-S MS61 PCGS. True Mint State examples of the early
branch Mint Walkers are elusive, and the 1920'S is certainly no
exception. This piece has a typical strike with central obverse
weakness, but it has full luster and good eye appeal for the grade.
(#6582)
1006 1921 XF45 PCGS. CAC. As was also the case with the dime
and quarter, the mintage of the half dollar dipped dramatically in
1921, due to a large'Scale resumption of silver dollar coinage. Any
1921'dated Walker is desirable. This is a moderately circulated
example with smooth pearhgray surfaces and ample design detail.
(#6583)
Uncirculated Sharpness 1921 Walker
1007 1921—Environmental Damage — AN ACS. MS60 Details. A
lustrous and low mintage Walking Liberty half that has delicate
straw'gold toning and only a single faint abrasion, above IN GOD
WE TRUST. The eagle’s neck and Liberty’s chest display subtle
pitting, although the fields are unaffected. Will please many
collectors long in search of this challenging date. (#6583)
Radiant Near-Gem 1927-S Half Dollar
1008 1927-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1927'S half dollar is an issue
that occasionally surfaces at the near-Gem level, but Gems are
rare and finer coins are all but unobtainable. This piece shows
excellent luster over silver-white surfaces, with a typical strike on
the branch hand and the eagle’s lower leg feathers.
From The Williams Collection. (#6587)
1928-S Walking Liberty Half, MS64
1009 1928-S MS64 PCGS Secure. Shades of violet, russet, and light
blue grace the surfaces that are still mostly untoned silver-gray
in the centers, with good luster and a typical strike that shows
weakness on the branch hand and the eagle’s lower feathers. The
1928'S is a difficult mintmarked issue, especially in the higher Mint
State levels. PCGS has certified 61 examples finer (4/10). (#6588)
1010 1929-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. Honey'gold toning visits the obverse
of this lustrous and lower mintage near-Gem. The reverse is close
to brilliant. Crisply struck save for the usual imprecision on the
branch hand. Minor contact on Liberty’s waist and the eagle’s rock
is of little import.(#6590)
1011 1933-S MS64 PCGS. Dusky stone'gray and honey'gold toning
blend throughout this coruscating scarce date Walker. A few faint
marks on the right obverse field are all that limit the grade. The
only issue of any denomination struck by the San Francisco Mint in
1933, the trough year of the Great Depression.
From The Classic Collection.(#65 91)

Boldly Struck Gem 1933-S Half Dollar
‘The Last of the First’
1012 1933-S MS65 PCGS. The “last of the first,” the 1933-S forms the
final low-mintage issue from the early years of the Walking Liberty
half dollar series. This a lovely grayish-gold Gem with cinnamon
and charcoal accents at the peripheries and a bold strike, as usual
for this well-produced issue. Note the split on the hand between
thumb and forefinger, and the actual presence of visible feathers on
the eagle’s lower legs. PCGS has certified only 83 pieces finer, less
duplicates as always (5/10).
From The Williams Collection. (#6591)
1013 1934 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Splashes of honey-gold toning grace the
margins of this thoroughly lustrous and boldly struck Superb Gem.
Glimpses of deep russet adorn HALF DOLLAR. An essentially
immaculate souvenir of the Great Depression. As of (5/10), PCGS
has certified just seven pieces finer.
From The Williams Collection.(#65 92)
1014 1934-S MS64 PCGS. Gold, orange, and reddish-brown peripheral
accents give way to a more silver-gray appearance at the centers.
Well-defined overall but with softness on the lower edge of Liberty’s
branch hand. (#6594)
1015 1935-S MS65 PCGS. Dappled straw-gold patina invigorates this
lovely Gem. Sharply struck despite its San Francisco origin, and the
lustrous surfaces are smooth save for a solitary vertical graze on the
right obverse field.(#6597)
Important MS66 1935-S Half
1016 1935-S MS66 NGC. Green-gold overtones grace much of the
outer fields, and additional dots of lavender and heather visit the
lower reverse. The centers offer soft silver luster. Impressively
preserved with a well-defined head of Liberty, though her branch
hand is characteristically weak. Census: 50 in 66, 3 finer (4/10).
(#6597)
1017 1936-S MS66 NGC. CAC. Brilliant and lustrous with a fine
strike aside from the usual blending on the branch hand. Virtually
devoid of contact, and elusive as such although moderately abraded
Uncirculated examples are relatively plentiful.
From The Williams Collection.(#6600)
1018 1938 MS67 NGC. Vibrant satiny mint luster and sharp striking
details are the outstanding characteristics of this Superb Gem
Walking Liberty half dollar. Only two coins have been certified in
higher grades by NGC (4/10), making this specimen an appropriate
choice for the finest Registry set. (#6604)
1019 1938-D MS65 PCGS. The famously low mintage 1938-D is
pursued even in well circulated grades, but it provides better value
in Mint State. This lustrous Gem representative displays light ice-
blue and almond-gold toning. Crisply struck aside from the fingers
of the branch hand, and encapsulated in an old green label holder.
(#6605)
1020 1938-D MS65 NGC. Silver-gray centers are softly struck, while
the better-defined margins show dappled gold, orange, and crimson-
brown colors. Minimally abraded with slight frostiness to the luster.
(#6605)
1021 1939-S MS67 PCGS. CAC. Silver-white surfaces gleam on this
Superb Gem, better-defined than most on Liberty’s head. Smooth
fields give the coin great eye appeal. Neither NGC nor PCGS has
certified an MS68 example (4/10).(#6608)
1022 1941-S MS66 NGC. CAC. Bold silver-white luster is swirling and
slightly frosty. A suggestion of pink color appears on the obverse
when it is tilted to the light. The obverse shows a minor rim
disturbance at 2 o’clock.(#6613)
1023 1944-S MS66 PCGS. CAC. Large S. Golden-brown and sea-
green endow the obverse, while the reverse has only a hint of tan
toning. Lustrous and unabraded with the usual incompleteness of
strike on the branch hand and upper skirt lines. (#6623)
1024 1945-S MS67 NGC. Softly frosted luster is largely silver-white
on this charming Superb Gem, a well struck short-setter with
smooth surfaces. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically
superior example (4/10).(#6626)
PROOF WALKING LIBERTY
HALF DOLLARS
Select Proof 1936 Walker
1025 1936 PR63 NGC. A satiny and lightly toned specimen that
has a hint of cameo contrast. The low mintages of 1936 proofs
can be explained by two factors. It was the first year for proofs
in a generation, and in an era long before Coin World and
internet message boards, not all collectors were aware that proof
production had resumed. Also, 1936 was the peak year for silver
commemorative issues, with myriad types issued to diminish the
Great Depression savings of collectors. (#6636)
Proof Near-Gem 1936 Half Dollar
1026 1936 PR64 NGC. The first and low mintage date within the
seven-year run of proof Walking Liberty halves, ended by the U.S.
entry into World War II. Milky sun-gold and cream toning drapes
this crisply struck and unabraded half dollar. The AW initials are
visible, although faint from a lapped die. (#6636)

Untoned Premium Gem Proof 1936 Half Dollar
1027 1936 PR66 NGC. CAC. The smooth, glassy surfaces are untoned.
The fields boast powerful reflectivity, and the strike appears needle-
sharp. Customary for proofs of the era, there is little contrast
between the fields and devices. Examples graded finer are much
more difficult to obtain.
From The Williams Collection. (#6636)
Gleaming 1936 Half Dollar, PR66
1028 1936 PR66 PCGS. This first-year proof half dollar has gleaming
silver-white surfaces with only a tiny mark or two that preclude
an even finer grade. There is essentially no field-device contrast
present, as usually seen on these proofs, but there are also no
distractions, spots, or other difficulties. Always popular for type-set
purposes. (#6636)
1029 1937 PR65 NGC. A silver-white Gem specimen with a chromelike
gleam. Strong eye appeal for this second-year Walking Liberty half
with a mintage of fewer than 6,000 specimens.(#663 7)
1030 1937 PR66 NGC. This precisely struck low mintage and high
grade proof appears flawless aside from inconsequential planchet
imperfections on the right obverse field. The sun’s rays are
attenuated due to a lapped die.(#6637)
1031 1937 PR67 PCGS. Dappled golden-brown and aqua-blue embrace
this intricately struck and satiny Superb Gem. Flawless aside from a
few trivial hairlines above PLURIBUS and beneath the second S in
STATES.
From The Williams Collection. (#6637)
1032 1942 PR67 NGC. CAC. Sharply struck and profoundly mirrored.
This Superb Gem is virtually brilliant save for a few dots of deep
toning along the upper obverse border. (#6642)
FRANKLIN HALF DOLLARS
1033 1951-D MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS. This essentially immaculate
Premium Gem has satin luster and an intricate strike. Peach-red,
apple-green, and lemon-gold adorn the margins, while the portrait
and fields are primarily ice-blue. Population: 68 in 66 Full Bell
Lines, 0 finer (4/10).(#86659)
1034 1952-S MS65 Full Bell Lines PCGS. Luster rolls undiminished
across the caramel-gold obverse and the dove-gray and olive-green
reverse. Nicely struck and minimally abraded. Full bell lines are
elusive on this issue, although collectible as such relative to the
1953-S. (#86663)
Impressive 1956 Franklin, MS67 Full Bell Lines
1035 1956 MS67 Full Bell Lines PCGS. Speckled iridescent toning
rests on highly lustrous silver surfaces on this remarkable and
highly attractive half dollar. The bold strike adds to its overall eye
appeal. This piece is tied for the finest NGC or PCGS has graded.
Population: 11 in 67 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (4/10). (#86671)
Iridescent-Toned 1958-D Franklin Half
MS67 Full Bell Lines
1036 1958-D MS67 Full Bell Lines PCGS. CAC. One of the finest
certified in Full Bell Lines of this difficult late-series issue.
Marvelous iridescent mint set patina covers the obverse entirely
and the reverse rim, with gold, mint, and jade prevailing. Contact
is minor, although we note a single tick in Franklin’s hair behind
the ear and a couple of small ones on the lower bell. Population: 26
in 67 Full Bell Lines, 0 finer (4/10). (#86675)
PROOF FRANKLIN HALF DOLLARS
Uncommon PR65 Deep Cameo 1951 Half
1037 1951 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. An uncommon Deep
Cameo specimen of this early proof Franklin half issue, minimally
toned with only minor milky toning near the final A in AMERICA
and below E PLURIBUS UNUM. Outstanding field-to-device
contrast and pleasing preservation that befits a Gem proof.
Population: 8 in 65 Deep Cameo, 14 finer (4/10). (#96692)
1038 1954 PR68 Cameo PCGS. There is not a single noticeable surface
blemish on either side of this ice-white Superb Gem. The mint
frost that overlays the devices is uncommonly thick for the issue,
and the cameo contrast is noteworthy for a proof from this era. A
find for the advanced Franklin half dollar collector. Population: 26
in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2001), lot 5997, which realized

MORGAN DOLLARS
1039 1878 7/8TF Weak MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. VAM-
33. The “Doubled Legs” variety, which shows just a few feather
tips below the main tailfeathers but also distinct extra thickness on
the eagle’s legs. Boldly contrasted with watery mirrors that gleam
beneath a thin layer of gold-gray patina. (#7070)
1040 1878 7/8TF Weak MS65 PCGS. VAM-33. “Doubled Legs,”
named for the extra thickness on the eagle’s legs just above the
talons. This is a well struck and shining Gem with a measure of
frostiness across the central devices. (#7070)
1041 1878-CC MS65 PCGS. Medium caramel-gold patina embraces
this lustrous and well struck CC-mint Gem. Well preserved overall
with only delicate marks noted on the portrait. (#7080)
1042 1878-CC MS65 NGC. Dappled golden-brown, cobalt-blue,
cream-gray, and slate toning dominates the obverse of this lustrous
Carson City Gem. The reverse is mostly brilliant, although the
margin displays caramel-gold. Smooth save for subtle marks near
the mouth. (#7080)
1043 1878-CC MS65 NGC. Booming luster and a hint of golden toning
combine with a full strike and good eye appeal. This introductory
year Carson City dollar is kept from a finer grade by only a few
wispy obverse grazes.(#7080)
1044 1878-CC—60 Degrees Clockwise Rotated Dies—MS65 PCGS.
A Gem Carson City dollar is a numismatic prize, even when
encountered with usual coin turn. The present example, however,
has a reverse rotated more than 60 degrees clockwise, relative to
the obverse, an uncommon event regardless of the facility of origin.
This is a highly lustrous piece with a sharp strike, smooth fields, and
peripheral butter-gold toning.
Ex: Palm Beach Signature (Heritage, 3/2006), lot 1503, which realized
$1,955. (#7080)
Attractive MS66 1878-CC Morgan Dollar
1045 1878-CC MS66 NGC. The initial CC-mint Morgan dollar issue,
offered here as a Premium Gem that doubtless owes its existence
to Treasury holdings. Light patina over silver surfaces takes on
elements of gold or rose, depending on the angle. Well-defined
with distinctly frosted devices and amazing eye appeal. NGC has
graded just nine numerically finer representatives (4/10). (#7080)
1046 1878-S MS66+ PCGS Secure. Dazzling luster sweeps this
gorgeously preserved and intricately struck Premium Gem. The
obverse is golden-brown with ruby-red and aquamarine about the
periphery. The reverse is lightly toned in autumn-gold shades that
deepen to freckles near the rim. (#7082)
1878-S Dollar, MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike
Scarce in Gem Condition
1047 1878-S MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Large quantities of
1878-S Morgan dollars were released by the Treasury Department
in the 1950s and in the 1962-1964 years. Higher-grade DMPLs such
as the present Gem are encountered infrequently. The untoned
surfaces exhibit sharply struck devices that yield strong contrast
with the deeply mirrored fields. The few trivial marks scattered
about do not detract. Population: 16 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 3
finer (4/10). (#97083)
Appealing 1879-CC Morgan, AU55
1048 1879-CC AU55 PCGS. A lustrous and highly attractive Choice
AU 1879-CC Morgan dollar with nearly full luster and faint
champagne toning. This is an extremely rare issue in Choice AU
grade, as nearly all have much more wear, or none at all. This piece
will appeal to a wide audience.
From The Williams Collection. (#7086)
Lustrous 1879-CC Dollar, MS61
Brilliant Throughout
1049 1879-CC MS61 PCGS. This is a sharply struck example of the
highly desirable Normal Mintmark variety with brilliant silver
surfaces and no evidence of toning on either side. While the
obverse is extensively abraded, establishing the overall numerical
grade of this piece, the reverse is much finer, and if graded by itself
would merit at least MS63 or perhaps MS64. (#7086)

1050 1879-CC MS63 PCGS. This “Perfect Mintmark” example is
untoned and shows the usually expected thick mint frost over
each side. The striking details are complete, a result of the precise
positioning of the dies in the Carson City Mint. This precision
caused the dies to wear faster, but quality of the coins in most years
is superior to the other mints. A few light abrasions are scattered
over each side, which explain the grade. (#7086)
Highly Lustrous 1879-CC Dollar, MS64
1053 1879-CC Capped Die MS61 NGC. VAM-3. A Top 100
Variety. This frosty Mint State piece has brilliant silver luster
with untoned surfaces and exceptional eye appeal. The surfaces
exhibit slight grade-consistent abrasions. The 1879-CC dollar is
the first important Morgan dollar issue with a low mintage and a
low survival rate. (#7088)
Shining Gem 1879-0 Dollar
Ex: PCGS Tour
Fully Struck 1879-CC Dollar, MS63
Frosty 1879-CC Capped Die Dollar, Mint State
1052 1879-CC MS64 PCGS. This stunning Choice Mint State 1879-
CC Morgan dollar exhibits deep gold, green, and iridescent toning
on the obverse, with lighter gold toning on the reverse. Both
sides have vibrant mint luster with frosty surfaces. A few hidden
abrasions on the obverse prevent a Gem grade. (#7086)
1056 1879-S Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. VAM-9. A Top 100
Variety. The R in TRUST is partially broken, but the parallel
die lines within the loop of wreath bow are specific to this VAM.
Medium dappled tan toning drapes this lustrous and nicely struck
near-Gem. The reverse is well preserved. (#7094)
1051 1879-CC MS64 PCGS. The so-called Perfect Mintmark variant,
which years ago was worth a premium over the Capped Mintmark.
The high quality of Carson City silver is abundantly evident on this
piece. The surfaces show thick mint frost, a feature that tends to
counterbalance the small abrasions that account for the technical
grade. The strike is well, but not fully brought up, and each side is
completely brilliant. (#7086)
Beautiful 1879-CC Morgan, MS64
1054 1879-0 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Glimpses of gold-
to-orange toning grace the margins of this shining Gem, while
the cartwheel luster of the centers remains resolutely silver-white.
Boldly impressed throughout and undeniably appealing. A few
spiderweb die cracks lace through the obverse legends. PCGS has
graded 13 coins finer (4/10). (#7090)
1055 1879-S Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. CAC. VAM-42. A Top
100 Variety. An essentially brilliant and well struck example of
this popular Second Reverse issue. Lightly toned with a lustrous
obverse and a prooflike reverse. A few field marks and cheek grazes
determine the grade. (#7094)

dollar, among the finest that PCGS has certified, with frosty white

1058 1880 8/7 Overdate MS65 NGC. VAM-11. A Hot 50 Variety.
The so-called “Checkmark” overdate with a small sliver of the 7 in
that shape visible on the upper loop of the second 8. Softly struck

PCGS Tour Gem Deep Mirror Prooflike
1880 Morgan Dollar

flashy and fantastic Philadelphia Gem with bold field-to-device
contrast. Light whispers of gray patina grace gleaming silver mirrors.
Only a few scattered luster breaks and shallow marks affect the
surfaces. PCGS has graded only one finer Deep Mirror Prooflike
example (4/10). (#97097)
Near-Gem 1880 Morgan Dollar
Rare 8 Over 7 Variety, VAM-6
1061 1880 8 Over 7 MS64 PCGS. VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety. The
“spikes” of a 7 show above the top of the loop of the second 8 in the
date. The crossbar of the 7 is also seen within the upper loop of the
8. From a huge mintage of 12.6 million pieces, the 1880 Morgan
dollar is an available date in all grades, but the issue is R.6 as VAM-
6. The present coin is an attractive Choice specimen, with strong
mint luster and minimal handling marks for the grade. The brilliant
centers yield to a concentric ring of gold and green toning at the
rims. The striking details are sharp, except for some typical softness
on the hair above Liberty’s ear. (#7098)
1062 1880-CC MS65+ PCGS Secure. Frosted on the well struck
devices with bold cartwheel luster in fields lightly toned cloud-
white. Easily of Gem quality with the appearance of something
more, though small luster scrapes and marks combine to preclude a
finer designation.(#7100)
1063 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. CAC. VAM-4.
A Top 100 Variety. The underdigits are prominent beneath the

frosted devices. Faintly gray-toned overall with a hint of golden-
tan. (#7108)

Variety. An obvious Carson City overdate that is also noteworthy
for its Second Reverse with a parallel top arrow feather. Lustrous
and crisply struck with delicate chestnut-gold toning and a patch of
faint marks beneath STATES. (#7108)
1065 1880/79-CC Reverse of 1878 MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100
Variety. Portions of the underdigits 7 and 9 are clearly visible under
80. Light silver-gray surfaces exhibit pleasing luster and nicely
struck devices. The fields are well preserved, and the cheek has
only wispy grazes.

and plum-red. The reverse is lightly toned but does have glimpses
of lemon-gold near the rim. Well struck and impressively preserved.
(#7114)
1067 1880-0 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Micro O. This well preserved near-
Gem exhibits vibrant luster and light chestnut-gold toning. The
centers show the usual moderate incompleteness of strike. Encased
in an old green label holder.(#7114)
Lovely 1880-0 Morgan Dollar, MS65
1068 1880-0 MS65 PCGS Secure. Small O. Like many scarce dates
in the Morgan dollar series, the 1880-0 is a condition rarity that
is infrequently found in Gem. The combined NGC and PCGS
population records show a total of just 50 pieces graded MS65,
and none finer. Rarely does such a remarkable example enter the
market. We have handled just 12 PCGS MS65 examples in the last
17 years.
This PCGS Secure specimen is a wonderful Gem with brilliant,
frosty silver luster and only a few tiny marks on Liberty’s cheek,
along with a small field mark below the final S in STATES.
Population: 28 in 65, 0 finer (4/10). (#7114)
1069 1880-0 8/7 MS64 PCGS. VAM-6A. A Top 100 Variety. Micro
O. This “Ear” overdate VAM is confirmed by the die line through
the berry closest to the N in UNITED. Well struck, lustrous, and
brilliant save for a glimpses of struck-in grease on the base of the
jaw.(#7114)
1070 1880-0 8/7 MS64 PCGS. VAM-6A. A Top 100 Variety. The
obverse with a tiny “ear” of a 7 protruding from the upper left of
the second 8 in the date, and the 6A reverse with a die gouge in the
left wreath in the area of the N in UNITED. Brightly lustrous with
whispers of cloud-white toning and small luster scrapes and marks
that combine to account for the grade.(#7114)
1071 1880/79-0 MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. An R.4
variety, with the 80 in the date punched over a 79. The strike
shows slight softness on the hair above the ear, but details are
sharp otherwise. The brilliant surfaces display strong mint luster.
(#7116)
1072 1880-S MS67+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Large S. This precisely struck
Superb Gem provides sweeping luster and exemplary preservation.
The centers are untoned, but the margins offer delightful golden-
brown, cherry-red, and navy-blue patina.(#7118)
Immaculate MS68 1880-S Dollar
1073 1880-S MS68 NGC. This is a splendid coin that immediately
captures the viewer’s attention because of its outstanding luster and
impeccable preservation. The blazing-white surfaces are completely
untoned and exhibit dazzling cartwheel effects in the semireflective
fields. The design elements are fully struck, and both sides of
the piece are essentially pristine. A common date that becomes
uncommon at this lofty grade level. (#7118)
1074 1880-S MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Medium S. Most
observers would regard the present flashy Morgan dollar as brilliant,
but we note a hint of gold toning on the obverse. Well struck and
impressively unabraded. (#97119)
1075 1881-CC MS65 PCGS. Light sun-gold toning enriches lustrous
and fully struck surfaces. The reverse is close to pristine, and the
obverse displays only faint grazes. A lower mintage Carson City
date.(#7126)
1076 1881-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. Thickly frosted on the devices with
blazing luster. Faintly toned with only a few tiny luster grazes noted
on Liberty’s portrait. Housed in a green label holder. (#7126)
1077 1881-CC MS66 PCGS. Lustrous and essentially untoned with a
pristine reverse and only a few delicate grazes on the portrait. A
high grade example of this popular low mintage CC-mint issue.
Certified in a green label holder. (#7126)
1078 1881-CC MS65 Prooflike NGC. VAM-2. The date displays
obvious repunching. Dazzling field reflectivity ensures the eye
appeal of this brilliant Carson City dollar. The obverse field is
clean, and the cheek and reverse field display only moderate
contact. (#7127)
1079 1881-CC MS65 Deep Prooflike NGC. Deeply mirrored fields
accentuate the sharply struck, mildly frosted devices. Untoned
surfaces reveal a few light to moderate abrasions over each
side. Census: 58 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 11 finer (4/10).
(#97127)
1080 1881-0 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Medium orange

Wonderful 1881-0 Morgan
MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1081 1881-0 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. This 1881-0
dollar has deeply mirrored fields that provide a wonderful frame
for the frosty, lustrous devices. Both sides are fully brilliant with
no evidence of toning. The 1881-0 dollars are seldom found
with such amazing contrast in any numerical grade, and they are
especially rare in Gem. In fact, MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike is the
top grade for this date, with a total of just 14 pieces certified by
NGC and PCGS combined. Here is a wonderful opportunity for
the aficionado. Population: 10 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer
(4/10). (#97129)
1082 1881-S MS67 NGC, CAC. Peach-gold, fire-red, navy-blue,

the reverse displays autumn-gold toning throughout the border.
Fully struck and highly lustrous with exemplary preservation.

on both sides. The strike is bold and the eye appeal is grand.
(#7130)
1881-S Dollar, MS68
Marvelous Type Coin
1084 1881-S MS68 NGC. The 1879-S, 1880-S, and 1881-S Morgan
dollars represent the pinnacle of the coiner’s art for the series,
superbly struck coins with superlative luster and impeccable eye
appeal. This is one such coin, with frosty silver-white surfaces that
are free of any mentionable abrasions. The strike is full throughout,
as one would expect from this popular issue. NGC has certified
none finer (4/10). (#7130)
Incredible MS68 1881-S Dollar
Pedigreed to the PCGS Tour
1085 1881-S MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. A stunning selection
from the PCGS Tour with absolutely incredible luster. Sharply

Phenomenal MS68 1881-S Dollar
1087 1881-S MS68 PCGS. The 1881 -S Morgan dollar is one of the
best-produced issues in the entire series. There are thousands of
high grade examples and, indeed, there are more than 4,000 pieces
graded in MS67 by NGC and PCGS combined. At MS68, however,
the numbers are much smaller, and the two major services have seen
fewer than 250 such coins, including any possible resubmissions.
This marvelous specimen has a lovely, frosty sheen across snow-
white surfaces. The design elements are fully struck. A couple
of tiny nicks, just behind Liberty’s head, are the only evidence
of imperfection on either side of this remarkable representative.
Population: 87 in 68, 2 finer (4/10). (#7130)
1088 1882-CC MS66 PCGS. VAM-2B. Faint golden toning visits this
lustrous Carson City Premium Gem. The strike is assertive, and
neither side has any obvious marks. Expensive to procure any finer.
(#7134)
1089 1882-CC MS66 NGC. Well struck with bold cartwheel luster
on each side. The obverse of this Premium Gem is generally gold-
orange with peach and violet elements to the left, while the reverse
is near-brilliant.(#7134)
1090 1882-CC MS66 Prooflike NGC. Flashy fields offer moderate
to high reflectivity as well as silvery cartwheels. Thickly frosted
devices are better-defined than usually seen, and the contrast is
amazing. Census: 33 in 66 Prooflike, 3 finer (4/10).(#7135)
1091 1882-CC MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. This brilliant
Carson City Gem has reflective fields and frosty devices. Sharply
struck and pleasing with a splendidly preserved reverse. Census: 91

Starkly Contrasted 1882-CC Dollar
MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1092 1882-CC MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The surfaces are
generally untoned with just a bit of golden color over the portrait of
Liberty. The razor sharp design elements stand out in sharp contrast
to the placid, glassy fields. Out of the many thousands of 1882-CC
dollars submitted to PCGS, only a few dozen pieces merit an MS66
DMPL rating. Population: 61 in 66 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 1 finer
(4/10). (#97135)
1094 1882-O/S MS63 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. The
“Recessed” overmintmark with the diagonal stroke of the S below
the level of the O. A lustrous and lightly gray-toned Select example
of this popular variety, known for the fine die rust over the reverse
devices almost as much as its overmintmark.(#7138)
Scarce Choice 1882-O/S Dollar, VAM-4
1095 1882-O/S MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. The
“Recessed” O/S VAM. Delicate walnut-tan toning graces this
lustrous and well impressed overmintmarked silver dollar. Marks
are minimal for the designated third party grade. Struck from rusted
dies. As of (4/10), PCGS has certified only two examples in higher
grades. (#7138)
VAM-4 1882-O/S Morgan, MS64
Top 100 Variety
1096 1882-O/S MS64 PCGS. VAM-4. A Top 100 Variety. The recessed
O over S variety is one of three overmintmark varieties known for
this issue. There must have been an emergency order for reverse
dies from New Orleans. If the Philadelphia Mint had already
marked the dies for San Francisco, they would have overpunched
the mintmark with an O and sent them to Louisiana. This satiny
Mint State example has pale champagne toning over lustrous
silver surfaces. PCGS has only certified two finer examples (4/10).
(#7138)
1097 1882-S MS67 PCGS Secure. CAC. This brilliant and thoroughly
lustrous high grade Morgan type coin has an exemplary strike
and a remarkably unabraded obverse. Infrequent and unobtrusive
marks on the reverse are all that prevent an even higher third party
assessment. (#7140)
1093 1882-0 MS65 Prooflike PCGS. Spectacular mirrored fields and
sharply defined devices make this Gem 1882-0 Morgan dollar
memorable. The 1882-0 is not a rare date, but examples with a
good strike and prooflike surfaces are quite scarce. Population: 34 in
65 Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).(#7137)

PCGS has certified only one finer Prooflike representative (4/10).

Nearly Perfect 1882-S Dollar, MS68
Ex: PCGS Tour
1099 1882-S MS68 NGC. The 1882-S is one of the most plentiful early
Morgan dollars in Mint State. Only in the lofty grade of MS68, that
of the present offering, does this issue become a challenge to locate.
Vibrant luster endows this wonderful specimen, as does a full strike.
The untoned surfaces are immaculately preserved. Census: 81 in 68,
0 finer (4/10). (#7140)
1105 1885 MS66 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Distinctly
reflective but also strongly cartwheeled, this Premium Gem also
has the added distinction of rich patina. The obverse’s green-gold
peripheral toning frames a strongly contrasted center, while the
reverse has similar, lighter outer colors around a denim-blue and
peach core. Population: 40 in 66 Prooflike, 2 finer (4/10). (#7159)
1100 1883 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. This essentially stone-
white Gem has a pleasing strike and nicely reflective fields. Cameo
contrast is apparent, especially on the reverse. Infrequent minor
field marks are of little import. Population: 72 in 65 Deep Mirror
Prooflike, 8 finer (4/10).(#97143)
1106 1885-CC MS65 PCGS. Faint sun-gold patina visits this
coruscating and attentively struck low mintage Carson City dollar.
The reverse field is unusually void of contact, and the obverse has
only distributed wispy grazes.(#7160)
1101 1883-CC MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. VAM-5A, R.5. Clashed
n in front of Liberty’s neck. Such clash marks have become highly
popular in recent years. This lustrous high-grade CC-mint dollar is
mostly brilliant, but each side has a generous blush of orange-gold,
ocean-blue, and ruby-red toning.(#7144)
1107 1885-CC MS66 NGC. The shining obverse is richly toned in a
progression from light green-gold at the upper right through gold-
orange and peach, ending in a narrow crescent of blue-violet at the
lower left. The reverse has faint echoes of color at the rim but is
otherwise pale silver-gray. (#7160)
1103 1884-CC MS66 PCGS. CAC. Bold cartwheel luster shines in
moderately reflective fields, while the devices are distinctly if not
thickly frosted. A few spots of milky patina visit each side. PCGS
has certified 59 coins finer (4/10). (#7152)
1098 1882-S MS68 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. This example,
housed in a green label holder, remains tied for finest certified by
PCGS (4/10). Both sides are boldly impressed through the centers
and beautifully lustrous. A glimpse of golden toning graces the
upper obverse, while the rest of the coin shows minimal patina.
(#7140)
1104 1884-0 MS67 PCGS. This is a brilliant Superb Gem that is
essentially devoid of mentionable distractions. Each side displays
incredible, nearly defect-free, silver-white surfaces. Generally
New Orleans dollars are not well struck, but the 1884-0, and in
particular this coin, are the exception to the rule. Population: 54 in
67, 1 finer (4/10). (#7154)
Prized MS66 Prooflike 1885 Dollar
1102 1883-S MS63 PCGS. Crisply detailed with lively cartwheel luster.
Minimally toned with small, scattered abrasions which account for
the grade. Solid eye appeal for the Select designation. (#7148)
Surprising MS66 Prooflike 1885-CC Dollar
1885-CC Morgan Dollar, MS 66 Deep Mirror Proof like
1109 1885-CC MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The story of the
1885-CC is a small mintage but large survival, due to preservation
of massive amounts in the Treasury hoards. But its story continues
as a much in-demand CC-mint issue, and one that is gloriously well
produced, making it equally a target of type and date collectors. This
Premium Gem piece sports the excellent preservation and deep
contrast expected. The paucity of abrasions and high eye appeal
add to the allure. Population: 39 in 66 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 2
finer (4/10). (#97161)
1110 1886 MS67 NGC. Attractive russet-brown and ocean-blue adorn
the peripheries of this lustrous and boldly struck available date
Superb Gem. Outstanding preservation proclaims the exemplary
quality. (#7166)
1111 1886-0 MS62 NGC. Bright luster is largely silver with just a
suggestion of peach-pink in the obverse fields. Softly struck at
the hair over Liberty’s ear with small marks and wispy abrasions
precluding Select status.(#7168)

defined than most Prooflikes in the centers, though incompleteness
is still present on the faintly frosted high points. Green-gold
peripheral toning yields to pale silver-blue patina that drapes the
gleaming centers. A carefully preserved Prooflike Gem that offers
incredible eye appeal. Population: 15 in 65 Prooflike, 2 finer (4/10).
(#7177)
1115 1887-0 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Nicely frosted
on the modestly abraded central devices. The flashy fields are
minimally toned, save for slender arcs of orange-red across portions
of the peripheries. Population: 85 in 64 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 7
finer (4/10).(#97177)
1886-S MS65 NGC. Well-defined overall, though a patch of roller
marks is visible on the cheek. This has no bearing on the technical
grade, though the impressive preservation of the watery silver fields
has a great influence.(#7170)
Premium Gem 1886-S Morgan Dollar
Subtle Reverse Toning
1113 1886-S MS66 PCGS. A small mintage of 750,000 Morgan dollars
was accomplished at the San Francisco Mint in 1886. Most of
this mintage was stored in mint vaults and gradually paid out
over the years until the supply was nearly exhausted in the 1950s.
The present coin features strongly impressed devices and vibrant
mint luster. The fields are brilliant on the obverse, with traces of
iridescent blue and green on the reverse. Population: 27 in 66, 4
finer (4/10). (#7170)

Remarkable 1887-0 Morgan Dollar
A Deep Mirror Prooflike Gem
1116 1887-0 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. The 1887-
O, while not a common issue, is nonetheless considered accessible
even with Prooflike surfaces. Deep Mirror Prooflike coins are
another matter, particularly with the impressive surface quality
displayed by this Gem. Scattered marks are generally isolated and
minor, though a small cluster of abrasions is noted to the right of
the eagle. Minor gold-orange peripheral toning gives way to silver
mirrors and white frost on the devices. While the strike on the hair
over Liberty’s ear is incomplete, the level of detail is far superior to
the norm. Population: 6 in 65 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).
(#97177)
Beautiful 1887/6-0 Morgan, MS64
1117 1887/6-0 MS64 PCGS Secure. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety.
This lovely near-Gem has attractive toning on both sides, with a
combination of gold, violet, and blue over frosty silver luster. The
strike is typical with central weakness evident over Liberty’s ear and
on the eagle’s breast. Population: 97 in 64, 1 finer (4/10). (#7178)
Dynamic Gem 1887-S Dollar
1118 1887-S MS65 PCGS. A virtually stone-white Gem with blazing
cartwheel luster and a pleasing strike. The fields are beautifully
devoid of contact, and the portrait displays only faint grazes. The
1887-S is a common sight in circulated grades, but Uncirculated
examples are somewhat scarce and generally encountered in MS62
through MS64. (#7180)
Gem 1887-S Morgan Dollar, VAM-2
Outstanding Mint Luster
1119 1887-S MS65 PCGS. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. Distinguished
by a repunched mintmark. Outstanding mint luster and a razor-
sharp strike are the most evident characteristics of this attractive
Gem Morgan dollar. The 1887-S is slightly scarce in the context of
the series and the issue is R.4 as VAM-2. (#7180)
1120 1888-0 MS63 ANACS. VAM-1B2. An early die state of the
eventual “Scarface” variety, with the characteristic die break
extending into the field past the period in E. PLURIBUS, but not
yet reaching Liberty’s face.(#7184)
1121 1889-CC—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. XF. Considerable
luster is still visible with accompanying pale gold and tan patina
over lighter silver surfaces. Each side has trivial abrasions and
hairlines, but none of any significance.(#7190)
Choice XF 1889-CC Dollar
1122 1889-CC XF45 PCGS. Rich sun-gold and green-gold toning
covers most of this Choice XF Carson City coin, lustrous in the
fields despite the light wear that crosses the high points. Dots of
deeper color are found along the rims, most visibly at the upper
obverse and near the mintmarks and wingtips on the reverse.

Choice XF 1889-CC Morgan
1123 1889-CC XF45 PCGS. CAC. The Carson City Mint had been
closed more than four years when coinage resumed in late 1889.
The local economy apparently absorbed the issue, since the typical
survivor is a cleaned VF. Examples exist in Mint State, but those
are few relative to other CC-mint Morgan issues. The present
pearbgray and chestnut-gold Choice XF dollar displays ample
remaining luster and has problermfree surfaces. (#7190)
Popular 1889-CC Morgan Dollar, Choice XF
1124 1889-CC XF45 NGC. This Choice XF key Morgan dollar issue
offers lightly golden-toned surfaces that retain much of their
original luster. The reverse shows some light charcoal-gray near
the rim above UNITED, and an interesting die crack encircles the
margin through U, a star, and the denomination. There are few
abrasions for the grade on this nice specimen. (#7190)
Lovely Silver-White 1889-CC
Morgan Dollar, AU58
1125 1889-CC AU58 NGC. This is a lovely near-Mint State example
of what is by far the most in-demand Morgan dollar key issue from
the Carson City Mint. Nearly all of the original mint luster remains,
on surfaces that are silver-white with glimmers of cinnamon
color around the devices. The bold strike complements a relative
paucity of abrasions. This piece would fit quite nicely into a mostly
Uncirculated set. (#7190)
1889-CC Morgan Dollar, MS62
Strong Eye Appeal
1126 1889-CC MS62 PCGS. Ex: Shrike Set. The 1889-CC Morgan
dollar boasts a small mintage of 350,000 pieces and is considered the
least available coin of the series from the Carson City Mint. Always
in demand from series enthusiasts and Carson City specialists,
this issue never fails to inspire intense competition whenever one
is offered. The present specimen features sharp striking details
and vibrant mint luster. The surfaces are brilliant and untoned.
A scattering of minor contact marks on Liberty’s cheek and in
the obverse field accounts for the grade. Overall excellent visual
appeal. (#7190)
1127 1889-0 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Nicely struck and nearly
brilliant with booming luster and an exemplary reverse. The cheek
has a few faint grazes. A better O-mint issue.(#7192)
1128 1889-0 Doubled Date MS64 PCGS. VAM-6. A Top 100 Variety.
Strong repunching on three of the four digits in the date makes
this one of the “most dramatic” examples of the error, according
to Oxman-Fey. This near-Gem has strong silver luster with small
scrapes on both obverse and reverse. (#133933)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT
185
1130 1889-S MS65 PCGS. Copper-gold and gunmetal-gray alternate
across this lustrous and well struck scarcer date Gem. Unabraded
save for unobtrusive ticks on the cheek.(#7194)
1131 1889-S MS65 NGC. Here is a remarkable Gem 1889-S dollar with
faint gold and iridescent toning over frosty and fully lustrous silver
surfaces. Slightly weak over the ear, but all other design elements
are bold. NGC has only graded 27 finer pieces.(#7194)
1132 1890 MS65 NGC. Solidly struck on the reverse with only minor
softness on the central obverse. Effusive luster lights up the surfaces
of this Gem, richly toned in gold, orange, green, and blue hues.
(#7196)
1133 1890 MS65 NGC. Fully patinated in rich olive-green, cream-gray,
ruby-red, and apricot toning. Cartwheel luster rolls over the toning,
and the strike is good with only unimportant incompleteness at the
centers. In a prior generation holder. (#7196)
1137 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. Sharply
struck with light gray to cream toning across impressively lustrous
surfaces. The devices show suggestions of frost as well as a handful of
grazes. An appealing example of the popular and familiar “Spitting
Eagle” variety. (#7206)
1138 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. The familiar
“Spitting Eagle” VAM, named for the well-placed die lump beneath
the beak. Light almond-gold toning visits this lustrous Carson City
dollar. The fields are smooth, while the cheek displays wispy grazes.
(#7206)
1139 1891-CC MS64 NGC. Dappled orange-gold patina outlines much
of the borders and rims, along with occasional hints of cobalt-blue.
However, this lustrous and attractively preserved Carson City near-
Gem is predominantly untoned. Housed in a former generation
holder. (#7206)
1140 1891-CC MS64 PCGS. A few brown toning spots on the reverse
are the only distractions on this otherwise brilliant and frosty
Choice Mint State piece. Both sides have sharp design features.
(#7206)
1141 1891-0 MS64+ PCGS Secure. This beautifully preserved, highly
lustrous, and essentially brilliant New Orleans Morgan dollar is held
back from Gem classification only by the central incompleteness of
strike customary for the ‘9 l-O. (#7208)
PCGS Tour MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1889-0 Morgan Dollar
1129 1889-0 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS
Tour. A notable New Orleans Deep Mirror Prooflike that was seen
by thousands as part of a traveling exhibition put on by PCGS,
the firm that certified the coin. Unlike several later New Orleans
dates, the 1889-0 is found Prooflike with some frequency, though
Deep Mirror Prooflikes such as this Gem are far more elusive. This
strongly contrasted example has elements of green-gold and blue
toning at the borders, while the centers show only light gray patina
or none at all. Frosted devices are well struck overall but typically
soft at the hair over Liberty’s ear. (#97193)
Formidable MS66 1890-S Silver Dollar
1134 1890-S MS66 PCGS Secure. CAC. Ex: Simpson. Lavender and
golden-brown embrace the margins and visit the centers. This
sharply struck Premium Gem has exemplary luster and an essentially
pristine reverse. The obverse field is also nearly immaculate, and
even Liberty’s cheek has only trivial grazes. As of (4/10), PCGS has
certified just six pieces in higher grades. (#7202)
Colorful 1890-S Morgan, MS66
1135 1890-S MS66 NGC. Magnificently toned with a sun-gold obverse
and an orange-gold, blue-green, and ruby-red reverse. This well
struck Premium Gem appears unabraded save for minor contact
on the cheekbone and a thin mark above the leaves of the olive
branch. Census: 45 in 66, 1 finer (4/10). (#7202)
PCGS Tour 1891 Morgan Dollar, MS65
1136 1891 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Boldly lustrous and
frosty with light gray toning overall, though peripheral gold and
peach elements are also present near the rims. This well struck
example shows no abrasions warranting individual mention. PCGS
has certified only three finer examples (4/10). (#7204)

Astounding 1891-0 Morgan Dollar
MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike
From the PCGS Tour
1142 1891-0 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex:
PCGS Tour. One of the jaw-droppers of the touring set, this
1891-0 Morgan dollar remains one of only two MS65 Deep
Mirror Prooflike examples known to PCGS, with none finer
(4/10). Q. David Bowers offers several interesting comments
about the 1891-0 issue, including this take on prooflike pieces:
“Quite a few prooflike and partially prooflike coins exist, many
of which are well struck (an exception to the general rule for
1891-0). DMPL coins exist, some well struck, others not.”
The Bowers quote highlights two key aspects of the challenge
posed by 1891-0 Morgan dollars: strikes are often poor, and
while Bowers is correct that Deep Mirror Prooflike examples
“exist,” they are far from numerous, with only a few dozen such
pieces certified—certainly not enough to meet demand. Add in
the complication of condition rarity, and it is little wonder that
Gem examples with Deep Mirror Prooflike surfaces should be so
elusive.
This piece has light layers of gold-gray toning over the
potent mirrors. Mild frost graces devices that are well but not
fully struck; heavy frost is not the norm for this New Orleans
issue, regardless of the condition of the dies. A few small marks
visit the obverse, and the only abrasion warranting individual
mention is on the reverse, where it seems to form an underline
to the E in STATES.
A further Bowers observation regarding this issue, clearly
expressing his disapproval after giving collecting advice: “In any
event, just buy one—don’t even think of buying a duplicate!”
The winning bidder of this stunning coin will never want to
entertain the thought. (#97209)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 187
Conditionally Rare 1891-S Dollar, MS66 Prooflike
1143 1891-S MS66 Prooflike NGC. Here is an incredible 1891-S dollar
with full prooflike surfaces, displaying lustrous devices and mirrored
fields on both sides. The current NGC Census Report shows
472 examples of the 1891-S dollar certified as either Prooflike or
Deep Prooflike, but the highest grade of any is just MS65 (4/10).
Undoubtedly an extremely important condition rarity. (#7211)
1144 1892 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Impressively high-end for
a near-Gem with bright, frosted silver luster that shows only
light layers of patina. Well struck with few significant marks and
impressive eye appeal.(#7212)
1145 1892-CC MS62 NGC. A boldly struck and untoned scarce date
CC-mint dollar that has a minimally marked reverse and only wispy
grazes on the left obverse. Delightful cartwheel luster confirms the
eye appeal.
Ex: Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 712009), lot 1962, which realized
$1,495. (#7214)
1146 1892-CC MS63 NGC. VAM-10A, R.6. The obverse of this
interesting VAM has a misplaced date digit in the dentils between
the 92, as well as a clashed letter (the second T in TRUST) in the
vee of the hair. Lustrous and lightly toned with a sharp strike and
the expected number of faint obverse abrasions. (#7214)
1147 1892-CC MS63 PCGS. CAC. A brilliant better date Carson City
dollar that boasts scintillating luster and a virtually pristine reverse.
The obverse field is also smooth, and the portrait has only the
expected number of minor grazes.
Ex: Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 1963, which realized
$1,840.(#7214)
1148 1892-CC MS63 PCGS. Fully brilliant and untoned silver surfaces
possess frosty luster with light reverse reflectivity. This charming
Carson City dollar will please nearly all collectors.(#7214)
1149 1892-CC MS64+ PCGS Secure. Intensely lustrous with bold
cartwheels and faint skiffs of cloud-white patina across silver
surfaces. Well struck devices offer glimpses of twinkling frost.
Undeniably high-end for the near-Gem range, though a luster
scrape below Liberty’s chin leaves the coin just shy of an even finer
designation. (#7214)
Lustrous 1892-0 Morgan, MS65
1150 1892-0 MS65 PCGS Secure. A marvelous Gem with light
gold toning on the obverse. The reverse is fully brilliant with no
evidence of toning over its frosty luster. The strike is typical for the
New Orleans dollars from the 1890s, with weakness over the ear,
and at the center of the reverse. (#7216)

Stunning MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1892-0 Dollar, Ex: PCGS Tour
1151 1892-0 MS65 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. Ex: PCGS Tour.
For the knowledgeable Morgan dollar collector, the simple
existence of this Deep Mirror Prooflike Gem is astounding.
Wayne Miller’s The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook, a classic
that has held up well despite the passage of nearly three decades,
proclaims: “The 1892-0 is one of the rarest of the Morgan
dollars in prooflike condition. Even semi-prooflike specimens
are rare.”
The book also has a memorable roll-call of the eight
prooflike coins the author had seen in 1982, reprinted virtually
verbatim by Q. David Bowers a decade later in his Silver Dollars
& Trade Dollars of the United States, beginning: “Two were
barely mint state, and unattractive. One was well struck, but
quite bagmarked and not deeply mirrored. Four were deeply
mirrored gray brilliant prooflikes, with very flat strikes.” The
last coin mentioned was the piece pictured, a well struck coin
with not only mirrors, but contrast.
The present Gem, one of just three MS65 Deep Mirror
Prooflike examples known to PCGS with none finer (4/10),
does not fit into any of the above categories. Certainly as a
Gem, it is not “barely Mint State” or “quite bagmarked,” yet the
definition is characteristically soft, with a broad plain of frost
at the hair over Liberty’s ear. Nor is the coin strictly brilliant;
prominent yellow toning graces the borders, and two flyspecks
are noted in the field to the left of Liberty’s face. Whatever path
this piece may have taken, it was justly recognized by PCGS
as one of the finest 1892-0 Morgan dollars known, and it still
holds that distinction today. (#97217)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 189
1152 1892-S AU53 NGC. CAC. The 1892-S is among the rarest
Morgan dollar issues in Mint State, and it is also highly challenging
in AU. The pearl-gray and almond-gold surfaces lack distracting
abrasions, and luster dominates the borders, plumage, and hair
curls.(#7218)
1153 1893 MS64 PCGS. Light orange-red toning adorns the borders of
this lustrous and sharply impressed near-Gem. Virtually unabraded
save for faint grazes on the cheek. The 3 is lightly repunched, as
usual for this low mintage Philly date.(#7220)
Lovely Gem 1893 Morgan Dollar
Ex: PCGS Tour
1154 1893 MS65 PCGS. Ex: PCGS Tour. A frosty and delightful Gem
with prominent cartwheel luster. Frosty surfaces are mainly silver-
white in appearance with occasional skiffs of cloud-white patina
across the top. Moderate striking softness at the centers is not
uncommon for the issue. PCGS has graded a mere three coins finer
(4/10). (#7220)
1155 1893-CC XF45 NGC. Surprisingly flashy for a Choice XF coin
with generally uniform luster in blue-tinged pale silver. Rubbed
on the high points with a long, thin abrasion and other marks on
Liberty’s cheek. (#7222)
Popular 1893-CC Morgan, MS63
1156 1893-CC MS63 PCGS. The ever popular 1893-CC dollar, the
coin that ended an era, exhibits frosty silver luster. The surfaces
are lightly marked as usual for nearly all surviving examples of this
issue. Presented is a marvelous piece for the avid Morgan dollar or
Carson City collector. (#7222)
Exceptional 1893-CC Dollar, MS64
1157 1893-CC MS64 PCGS. This is an exceptional example for the
grade, a borderline Gem with brilliant, satiny luster and smooth,
unmarked surfaces. Both sides have a sharp strike and possess
unmarked silver surfaces. PCGS has only graded 10 examples finer
than this piece (4/10). (#7222)
1158 1893-0 AU58 PCGS. Just a touch of rub mingles with striking
softness on the high points of this O-mint Morgan. Scattered luster
grazes and light abrasions are noted on cloud-white surfaces that
show occasional dots of deeper gray color.(#7224)
1159 1893-0 AU58 NGC. At 300,000 pieces, the mintage of the 1893-
O Morgan dollar is the lowest of the series from the New Orleans
Mint. The present coin is well struck, with brilliant surfaces yielding
to shades of gold at the borders.(#7224)
Appealing MS62 1893-0 Silver Dollar
1160 1893-0 MS62 PCGS. Light caramel-gold toning graces this
lustrous and lightly abraded rare date dollar. The centers exhibit
typical O-mint incompleteness, and the cheek displays a few faint
grazes. Struck from multiply clashed dies. The lowest mintage New
Orleans Mint issue. (#7224)
Desirable 1893-S Dollar, Fine Details
1161 1893-S— Harshly Cleaned—NGC Details. Fine. The key issue to
the Morgan dollar series, the 1893-S is always in demand, regardless
of its grade or quality. This piece has pale gray surfaces with obvious
cleaning lines and other impairments on both sides. There is a
collector for every coin, and this one is no exception. We anticipate
active bidding. (#7226)
Pleasing 1893-S Morgan Dollar, Fine Details
1162 1893-S— Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Fine. This pleasing
light silver-gray example has faint hairlines and other blemishes on
each side, including an obverse rim bruise at 4 o’clock. A ready
market exists for every 1893-S Morgan dollar. The obverse die
characteristics of genuine 1893-S Morgan dollars are readily visible.

Midgrade 1893-S Dollar, VF Details
1163 1893-S—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. VF. The devices
show even wear over the high points on each side. There are a few
medium-sized abrasions on Liberty and one on the eagle’s breast,
but these are consistent with a coin that has been through 40 points
of circulation. Both sides are silver-gray in appearance from having
been cleaned, as seen by the hairlining seen on both obverse and
reverse. (#7226)
XF Key Date 1893-S Dollar
1164 1893-S XF40 PCGS. The fields and devices are dove-gray, while
the borders display autumn-brown. Study beneath a loupe reveals
pleasing surfaces despite an inconspicuous pinscratch that reaches
the E in E PLURIBUS UNUM. The low mintage key date of this
widely collected series. (#7226)
Mostly Untoned 1893-S Dollar, XF40
1165 1893-S XF40 PCGS. Sometimes described as the “King of the
Morgan Dollars,” the 1893-S is an issue that has always been
desirable among collectors of this immensely popular series, and
has gradually emerged as the most prominent key date. Even in
circulated grades, the 1893-S is scarce and highly sought-after. This
example displays even wear across each side, and untoned centers
that are surrounded by deep, attractive turquoise-green and golden-
brown peripheral toning on the obverse. (#7226)
Almost Uncirculated 1893-S Dollar
Gray-Brilliant Surfaces
1166 1893-S AU50 PCGS. Only 100,000 pieces were struck of the
1893-S, and apparently very few were set aside in government
vaults. Thus the 1893-S is a key date whose mintage corresponds
to its rarity, unlike other low-mintage issues, most notably the
1885-CC. In AU grades it is avidly sought after by specialists. This
example displays a well-balanced, slate-gray appearance with ample
definition on the design elements. There are no unduly bothersome
distractions but several wispy abrasions are, however, noted on the
obverse. The texture of the coin is slightly glossy. (#7226)
1167 1894 PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests
Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of an AU specimen that has been whizzed. Careful rotation
of this richly detailed and nearly untoned rare date silver dollar
displays patches of swirling hairlines. The fields are inordinately
bright. (#7228)
1168 1894—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. VF. Here is a
splendid example, despite the appearance of abrasive cleaning on
the obverse. The 1894 is an important key in the Morgan series.
(#7228)
1169 1894 VF25 NGC. A popular key-date in the Morgan dollar series,
the low-mintage 1894 garners demand in all grades, circulated,
Mint State, and proof. This attractive and original example has
gray-brown toning over pleasing surfaces. Handling marks on each
side are consistent with the grade. (#7228)
1170 1894 AU50 PCGS. Lightly worn across the high points but with
ample silver luster remaining. A line of reed marks is noted at the
left side of Liberty’s cheek, and scattered abrasions are also present
elsewhere. (#7228)
1171 1894 AU58 NGC. At first glance, this rare date Philly dollar
appears to be Mint State, but the eagle’s breast and the hair above
the ear display a trace of rub. Nonetheless, luster rolls across the
unmarked silver-gray surfaces. (#7228)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 191
1172 1894 AU58 NGC. A lustrous Borderline Uncirculated example
of the lowest mintage Philadelphia business strike issue. Minor
abrasions are consistent with brief circulation. Golden-brown
patina is limited to the right obverse periphery.(#7228)
1173 1894 AU58 NGC. The meager mintage of 110,000 pieces makes
the 1894 Morgan dollar the first key issue in the series from the
Philadelphia Mint. The present coin is a pleasing near-Mint
example with only the slightest wear on the devices and much
remaining luster.(#7228)
Popular Mint State 1894 Morgan Dollar
1174 1894 MS61 NGC. This perennially popular semikey issue was
made to the extent of only 110,000 coins, and only one die pair
sufficed for all of them. On the obverse, the left base of 1 aligns
with the left edge of a dentil, and on the reverse a small raised die
line appears in the triangle between the eagle’s right leg and the
leg feathers. This frosty silver-gray example shows a few abrasions
on Liberty’s jaw and scattered about elsewhere that determine the
grade. (#7228)
Brilliant 1894 Dollar, MS62
1175 1894 MS62 NGC. This boldly defined Mint State 1894 dollar
has brilliant silver luster with no evidence of toning on either
side. This desirable piece is a wonderful representative of the low
mintage 1894 dollar, the key Philadelphia Mint business strike in
the Morgan series. (#7228)
Outstanding 1894 Morgan, MS64
1176 1894 MS64 PCGS. This amazing 1894 Morgan dollar has frosty
silver luster beneath champagne and gold toning on both sides. It is
an exceptional piece with pristine surfaces for the grade. Although
slight weakness is evident at the centers, the overall appearance
is outstanding. PCGS has only certified 24 finer examples (4/10).

Important Gem 1894 Morgan Dollar
Part of the PCGS Tour
1177 1894 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. If not for the
famously low mintage of the 1893-S issue, the 1894 would be
far more famous. As it is, the 1894 has attained considerable
cachet, despite its mintage exceeding that of the 1893-S by
10,000 coins. This Philadelphia date was not immediately
recognized as a rarity, since contemporary collectors were more
focused on proofs than business strikes, and a few bags of 1894
Morgans were included in the Treasury releases. Soon afterward,
however, it became apparent that existing supplies of the 1894
dollar would not keep up with increasing demand. Today, the
1894 is considered one of the keys to the set, particularly in
better Mint State grades.
In the traveling exhibition put on by PCGS in the early
1990s that showcased the finest Morgan dollars certified by
that firm, this coin represented the 1894 issue. Though four
finer examples have been certified by PCGS since the days of
the Tour (4/10), this Gem representative still commands great
respect among Morgan dollar aficionados.
The overall design definition is solid, if a trifle weak at the
central obverse, and the luster is frosty overall. Faintly textured
surfaces are pale silver with just a suggestion of tan color along
the rims. Both sides are minimally abraded, with just a few tiny
marks and luster scrapes visible. A carefully preserved coin
with uncommon eye appeal, sure to be prized by its next owner.

1178 1894-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. Glimpses of tan toning visit this
lustrous and nicely struck better date silver dollar. The lower cheek
displays faint parallel roller marks, as made, but post-strike contact
is undistracting.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 10/2000), lot 8417. (#7232)
Amazing 1894-S Dollar, MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1179 1894-S MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike AN ACS. Both sides of this
delightful 1894'S dollar have fully and deeply mirrored fields with
lustrous silver surfaces and splashes of light iridescent toning. This
ranks among the finest prooflike examples of the date that have
ever been offered. (#97233)
Richly Toned 1895-0 Dollar, MS 62
Rarely Seen in Uncirculated Grades
1180 1895-0 MS62 PCGS. In 1895, silver dollars were definitely not
needed or wanted by the American public. The provisions of the
Sherman Silver Purchase Act of July 14,1890 required the government
to produce a vast quantity of these unnecessary coins every month.
The thankless task of coining these unwanted coins fell heavily on
the staff of the New Orleans Mint during much of the 1890s.
Probably because the coiners knew the majority of these coins
would be stored in vaults, far from critical eyes, the staff took no
special pains with quality control. In fact, their main concern was to
turn out as many coins as possible, in the shortest time possible. In
an effort to lessen die wear and prevent breakage, with the resulting
delays, the coiners set the dies farther apart than usual, resulting in
poor striking quality on almost all specimens coined. Muted mint
luster was also a consequence of this casual approach to coinage.
The recorded mintage for the 1895-0 Morgan dollar was an
anemic 450,000 pieces. Though most of these were stored away,
perhaps 100,000 pieces were released into circulation at the time
of issue. Coins continued to be released sporadically over the years,
until the supply was gone. Apparently, there were no 1895-0 coins
left in storage by the time of the Treasury releases in the 1960s. Q.
David Bowers has stated, “The rarity and importance of the 1895-0
in Mint State cannot be overemphasized.”
The present coin has a better than average strike for this date,
with much detail discernable on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s
breast. The luster is subdued, as usually seen on this date. Mottled
gray and lilac toning accent the fields, and handling marks are
consistent with the grade. This offering is an important opportunity
to acquire this historic coin in Mint State. (#7236)

Rarely Seen 1895-0 Dollar, AU58 Prooflike
1181 1895-0 AU58 Prooflike NGC. The 1895-0 has the distinction
of being the only circulation strike Morgan dollar that is not known
to have been part of any Treasury releases. This attractive example
has vivid amber toning around the margins that surrounds brilliant
centers. Myriad abrasions lightly affect the impressive reflectivity of
the fields. A relatively low 450,000 pieces were struck, and only a
select few have received a Prooflike designation from either NGC
or PCGS. NGC reports just four finer Prooflike examples. (#7237)
1182 1895-S PCGS Genuine. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests
Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of a AU specimen that has been dipped. Still a highly
lustrous and attractive example with excellent design details and a
trace of champagne toning. (#7 238)
1183 1895-S XF45 NGC. This gunmetal-gray key date Morgan dollar
retains traces of luster within the wings and other design crevices.
A loupe fails to locate any noticeable marks. (#7238)
1184 1896 MS66 Prooflike PCGS. Peach-gold toning is moderate in
intensity and limited to the margins. Well struck aside from the
claws. Nearly pristine save for one faint diagonal line on the cheek.
Population: 11 in 66 Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).(#7241)
1185 1896-0 MS61 NGC. Softly lustrous with light pink and gold
shadings settling over faintly toned surfaces. Well struck overall but
with appreciable flatness at the hair over Liberty’s ear. (#7 242)
Lustrous 1896-0 Morgan Dollar, MS62
1186 1896-0 MS62 PCGS. The New Orleans Mint produced nearly
5 million Morgan dollars in 1896, but nearly all of them entered
commerce. Relatively few survive in Mint State grades, and the
present piece is an exceptional representative with brilliant,
untoned silver surfaces. Both sides show typical weakness at the
centers. (#7242)
Near-Gem 1896-S Morgan Dollar
1187 1896-S MS64 PCGS. Though the 1896-S has a round mintage
of 5 million pieces, comparatively few examples are found in
better Mint State grades. This near-Gem offers a great balance of
challenge and accessibility. Streaks of green-gold and peach toning
cover parts of the lustrous surfaces, while light cloud-white patina
is present elsewhere. Brightly lustrous with the typical softness at
the hair over Liberty’s ear less visible than usually seen. PCGS has
graded 56 coins in higher grades (4/10). (#7244)
1188 1897-0 MS61 PCGS. Softly struck at the central obverse, though
the reverse is better-defined. Elements of peach and orange appear
at parts of the margins, most visibly in the date area, while the rest
of the coin has light gray toning over lustrous surfaces.(#7248)
1189 1897-0 MS62 PCGS. Silver luster is faintly toned-over with
elements of pale blue in the gray. Well struck overall with minor
softness at the centers. Wispy abrasions and a few luster grazes
contribute to the grade. (#7248)
1190 1897-0 MS62 PCGS. Well struck with swirling luster and a tinge
of golden color at the margins. While a number of light marks are
noted on and around the portrait, the eye appeal is strong for the
grade. (#7248)
Lovely MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike 1898 Dollar
1191 1898 MS66 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. A crisply detailed
example of this Philadelphia issue with outstanding reflectivity
through light patina, mainly pale silver-gray but with considerable
blue elements on the reverse and areas of gold at the margins.
A shallow luster scrape is noted at Liberty’s frosted jaw, but the
portrait is free of significant abrasions. Population: 12 in 66 Deep
Mirror Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10). (#97253)
1192 1898-0 MS67 NGC. Sun-gold and champagne-rose peripheral
shadings cede to near-brilliance at the centers. Excellent striking
definition and luster for this popular New Orleans issue. Certified in
a former generation holder. NGC has graded only one numerically
finer example (4/10).(#7254)
1193 1898-0 MS67 PCGS. VAM-10. This outstanding Superb Gem
has exquisite preservation, a bold strike, and barely a whisper of
chestnut toning. The mintmark leans to the right.
Ex: Chicago-Ark Collection (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 2722, which
realized $1 ,495.(#7254)
1194 1898-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. Faint gold toning clings to the
reverse of this otherwise untoned Morgan dollar. Crisply struck and
attractive with a few small marks on the eagle’s breast and the first L
in DOLLAR. A scarce San Francisco issue in Uncirculated grades.
Ex: Atlanta ANA Signature (Heritage, 4/2006), lot 1169.

Gem Prooflike 1898-S Morgan Dollar
Ex: PCGS Tour
1195 1898-S MS65 Prooflike PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Strong
reflectivity pierces the rich yellow-green and blue toning that drapes
each side. Contrast is low, as usually seen, doubtless influenced by
the patina. This Gem offers decidedly above-average definition
through the centers and great eye appeal. Population: 5 in 65
Prooflike, 0 finer (4/10). (#7257)
1196 1899 MS65 PCGS. This Gem has brilliant surfaces that display
radiant luster and nicely struck design features, except for a touch
of softness in the hair over Liberty’s ear. A few toning specks dot
the obverse. (#7258)
1197 1899 MS66 PCGS. Pearl-gray throughout save for an infrequent
peripheral blush of rich peach-gold. Glimpses of cobalt-blue and
cherry-red are on the obverse near 3 o’clock. Lustrous and nicely
struck with unabraded fields and only faint grazes on the portrait.
(#7258)
1198 1899-0 MS67 NGC. Solidly struck for the issue with frosty luster.
This Superb Gem, tied for numerically finest known to NGC
(4/10), has silver centers that give way to gold and orange toning
around most of the borders. The upper obverse adds a crescent of
blue against the rim. (#7 260)
1199 1899-S MS65 PCGS. A flashy Gem that is essentially silver-white
with only faint suggestions of gray toning in the fields. The eagle is
well-defined, though Liberty’s portrait shows more typical softness
at the hair over the ear. (#7 262)
1200 1900-O/CC MS65 PCGS. VAM-12. A Top 100 Variety. VAM-
12 shows more of the Carson City mintmark than any other 1900-
O/CC reverse. A lustrous and beautifully preserved Gem that has
glimpses of tan toning in design recesses. (#7268)
Gorgeous 1900-O/CC Dollar, MS66
1201 1900-O/CC MS66 PCGS. VAM-8. A Top 100 Variety. A subtle
crescent of lemon-gold patina visits the lower left obverse of this
otherwise silver-white piece. Boldly impressed for the New Orleans
issue with uncommonly vibrant luster and striking visual appeal.
Population: 81 in 66, 2 finer (4/10). (#7268)
1202 1900-S MS65 PCGS. This essentially pristine Gem displays
delicate almond-gold toning and provides outstanding eye appeal.
Minor inexactness of strike is noted, and the jaw exhibits nearly
imperceptible roller marks, as made. (#7270)
Impressive 1900-S Morgan, MS66
1203 1900-S MS66 PCGS. Lully lustrous silver-gray surfaces display an
occasional speckle of gold-tan. Generally well struck, except for
minor softness in the centers. A few minute ticks and grazes do not
detract. David Bowers (2006) estimates that a million or more of
the 3.54 million pieces were melted under the 1918 Pittman Act.
Population: 91 in 66, 1 finer (4/10). (#7270)
Scarce 1901 Morgan Dollar, MS62
1204 1901 MS62 PCGS. Subtle violet and iridescent toning graces
both sides of this important Mint State 1901 Morgan dollar. Lighter
gold frames the obverse. The strike is typical and the eye appeal is
wonderful for the grade. This is a scarce date that is usually found in
circulated grades. (#7272)

Important MS64 1901 Morgan Dollar
1205 1901 MS64 PCGS. The standard narrative for the 1901 dollar
is that it is common when clearly circulated and elusive in
Mint State. What is less often explored is how the different
levels of Mint State vary in rarity, and a look at the PCGS
Population Report is most illustrative. Among Mint State grades,
the most commonly certified state is MS62; while it might be
speculated that many of those coins are resubmissions made in
the hope of receiving an MS63 grade, it is worth noting that
the MS62 and MS63 populations are quite comparable, at 231
and 168 certification events, respectively.
Prices rise rapidly within the Mint State categories, with a
steep rise from MS62 to MS63 and even steeper beyond that.
There are just 24 coins certified by PCGS in grades above
MS63; of those, 21 are in MS64 and just three in MS65, with
none finer (4/10). Heritage’s own auction experience reveals
how tightly held high-end PCGS examples of the date are; the
firm has auctioned just one of the three MS65 coins, albeit on
two different occasions, and there are only a handful of MS64
PCGS coins that dot the Permanent Auction Archives.
This near-Gem makes a worthy addition to the list. Lustrous
surfaces are generally light silver-gray, with occasional gold and
peach accents visible on the reverse. Slight striking softness is
noted at the obverse center, but the overall detail is pleasing for
the issue. While a number of small ticks are visible on Liberty’s
lower face and neck, the coin’s immediate eye appeal suggests
something more than an MS64. The serious Morgan dollar
collector should give this coin equally serious consideration.
(#7272)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 197
1212 1903-0 MS66 PCGS. This lightly toned and well struck Premium
Gem exhibits vibrant luster and exemplary fields. Liberty’s face
has only a couple of wispy grazes. Outstanding quality for this later
O-mint issue.(#7286)
Shining MS66 1902-S Dollar
1210 1903 MS67 NGC. Impressively detailed with delightful cartwheel
luster. Faint peach accents grace parts of the margins, and a single
small spot of deep toning is noted at the upper right corner of the N
in UNUM. Census: 86 in 67, 2 finer (4/10).(#7284)
Appealing Gem 1901-S Morgan
1211
1903 MS67 PCGS. Brightly lustrous with better-than-average
definition and light wisps of cloudy toning over otherwise silver-
white surfaces. Only a few small luster grazes are present in the
fields, and marks are nearly nonexistent. A carefully preserved
Superb Gem that is tied for the finest certified by PCGS (4/10) and
thus a Registry collector essential. (#7 284)
1206 1901-S MS65 AN ACS. A lustrous Gem with well preserved fields
and glimpses of peach-gold throughout the borders. The centers
show minor softness, but the strike is otherwise crisp. It is curious
that San Francisco mintages were much lower than at Philadelphia
and New Orleans between 1900 and 1903, since silver dollars
circulated more extensively in the West. (#7276)
Tantalizing MS66 1902 Morgan Dollar
Part of the PCGS Tour
1213 1903-S AU50 PCGS. Light but distinct wear is focused on the
high points, leaving the rest of the silver surfaces surprisingly
lustrous. Minor to moderate abrasions dot the portrait and the
nearby fields. (#7288)
1214 1903-S Small S VF20 PCGS. VAM-2. A Top 100 Variety. The
Small or Micro S is among the most famous mini-mintmark Morgan
dollar varieties, and one of the most challenging. This midrange
representative has a mix of medium-gray shadings with blue and
gold accents. Small digs on and near the portrait contribute to the
grade. (#7306)
Wonderful MS65 1904 Dollar
From the PCGS Tour
1207 1902 MS66 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. While not Prooflike,
this Premium Gem has considerable reflective luster on the obverse
and even more on the reverse. Light toning overall with pale
green and blue elements dappled across each side. Definition is
significantly above-average. PCGS has graded 20 finer examples
(4/10). (#7278)
1208 1902-S MS64 NGC. CAC. Rich red to orange shadings are noted
at the borders, while the lustrous centers are pale silver-gray. A
trifle softly struck on the high points but decidedly appealing for
the grade nonetheless. (#7282)
1215 1904 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Gorgeous luster and
intense toning combine for wonderful eye appeal on this well-
defined Gem. Blue and violet hues are most prominent on each
side. The upper obverse has a crescent of lime-green and peach,
while the reverse shows the latter color in patches at its center.
PCGS has graded 14 finer examples (4/10). (#7290)
Scarce MS62 1904-S Morgan Dollar
1209 1902-S MS66 PCGS. The centers of this cartwheeled Premium
Gem are silvery and delightful, while varying levels of gold to
orange toning grace the peripheries. A soft strike at the hair over
Liberty’s ear is counterbalanced by the boldness on the eagle’s
feathers. Great condition and eye appeal for this challenging 20th
century Morgan dollar issue. Population: 29 in 66, 4 finer (4/10).
(#7282)
1216 1904-S MS62 PCGS. Faint tan-gold toning adorns this lustrous
better date Morgan dollar. The centers show moderate softness
of impression, and the scattered wispy marks are perhaps unduly
assessed by PCGS. All San Francisco dollars from the early 1900s
are challenging in Mint State. Encapsulated in an old green label
holder. (#7294)

PROOF MORGAN DOLLARS
Marvelous MS64+ 1904-S Dollar
1217 1904-S MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Tantalizingly close to Gem
condition, as attested by multiple sources, though the tiny marks
on Liberty’s cheek preclude that status. Still, this is an incredible
coin for an MS64, immensely appealing with bold cartwheel luster
beneath moderate patina, green-gold, peach, and lavender on the
obverse with similar, more subtle shadings on the reverse. Faint
roller marks on the cheek are visible only at an angle. (#7294)
Important MS65 1904-S Dollar
1218 1904-S MS65 PCGS Secure. A richly toned example of this
popular San Francisco Morgan dollar issue, the last produced before
1921. Strong luster shines from beneath dappled blue, green, and
gold toning that also shows a narrow horizontal band of reddish'
orange across the lower portrait. Highly elusive above the Gem
level; PCGS has graded a mere 11 coins finer (4/10). (#7294)
Pleasing Gem 1921-S Dollar
Ex: PCGS Tour
1219 1921-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: PCGS Tour. Significantly above-
average luster and design detail for this final-year San Francisco
issue. Silver-gray centers on each side with toned peripheries, deep
blue and green-gold on the obverse with lighter echoes of the latter
color on the reverse. PCGS has certified 25 finer examples (4/10).
(#7300)
1220 1879—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Proof. This scarce
second-year proof Morgan dollar has light peripheral golden toning.
The open fields are cloudy with hairlines. The eagle’s breast and the
hair above the ear display incompleteness of strike. (#7314)
Remarkable 1879 Morgan, PR64 Cameo
1221 1879 PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. A brilliant specimen that
approaches a Deep Cameo designation, since the glassy fields
exhibit exemplary contrast against the icy, fully struck devices.
The eye appeal is outstanding for the designated grade. Cameos are
surprisingly scarce for the proof 1879, and PCGS has certified only
a single example as Deep Cameo. Population: 13 in 64 Cameo, 14
finer (4/10). (#87314)
Colorful 1879 Morgan Dollar, PR65 Cameo
1222 1879 PR65 Cameo NGC. This second-year proof Morgan issue
is awash in colorful patina, with considerable field-device contrast
that well merits the Cameo designation from NGC. Splashes of
obverse color range from blue to purple to brown to charcoal, while
the reverse is primarily golden-hued in the centers, ceding to violet
and cobalt-blue near the lower rim. Census: 8 in 65 Cameo, 33
finer (4/10). (#87314)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 199
1880 Morgan Dollar, PR66 Cameo
Razor-Sharp Strike
1223 1880 PR66 Cameo NGC. A large proof mintage of 1,355 Morgan
dollars was achieved in 1880. The issue is readily available in the
context of proof Morgan dollars, but it is quite scarce in the PR66
Cameo designation. Light tan-gold toning graces the right obverse,
and is faintly apparent across the remainder of this razor-sharp
Premium Gem. The field-device contrast is strong enough to earn
the coveted Cameo designation. The portrait, eagle, and wreath
exhibit consistent frost, and the flashy fields are essentially devoid
of hairlines. Census: 32 in 66 Cameo, 38 finer (4/10). (#87315)
Beautiful 1880 Morgan Dollar, PR68 Cameo
1224 1880 PR68 Cameo NGC. Struck from freshly prepared dies, this
lovely Superb Gem features bold cameo contrast with deep mirrored
fields that frame its brilliant and frosty silver devices. All of the
individual die details are sharply defined on this specimen. Here
is an outstanding 19th century proof Morgan dollar that will grace
the finest type collection, proof set, or specialized Morgan dollar
cabinet. Although many collectors prefer business strike Morgan
dollars, the connoisseur realizes that no coin is more beautiful
than a Superb Gem Cameo proof. Census: 13 in 68 Cameo, 1 finer
(4/10). (#87315)

Choice Proof 1881 Morgan Dollar
1225 1881 PR64 PCGS. The caramel-gold obverse border frames the
untoned field and portrait, while the reverse displays only faint
honey-gold toning. A fully struck and well preserved Choice proof
Morgan. Only 975 proofs were struck, despite the presence of the
proof-only Trade dollar within the silver proof set of that year.
(#7316)
1226 1882 Genuine PCGS. Proof. The PCGS number ending in .94
suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the
reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion,
this coin has the details of a proof specimen that has altered
surfaces. This untoned example has glassy fields and moderate
cameo frost on the devices. No hairlines are evident.(#7317)
1227 1882— Artificial Toning —NCS. Proof. The milk-gray fields
also display a hint of lilac patina. A strong loupe reveals delicate
obverse hairlines. The strike is unimprovable, and the portrait
offers consistent and noticeable cameo frost.(#7317)
Reddish-Toned 1882 Morgan Dollar, PR64
1228 1882 PR64 NGC. The 1882 is a popular early date in the Morgan
series that is used as a type coin. It was minted six years before the
soft-strike problem began to affect proof dollars. As a result, almost
all examples are like this one, fully struck in all areas. The fields are
also deeply mirrored on each side and there is a slight bit of contrast
evident with the noticeably frosted devices. Each side is covered
with deep reddish-golden toning. (#7317)
Marvelous 1883 Morgan, PR67
1229 1883 PR67 NGC. This piece is nearly the numerically finest
certified with no Cameo or Ultra Cameo designation, save for one
single piece each at NGC and PCGS. Despite the lack of Cameo
designation there is considerable field-device contrast, and the
intense yet translucent patina emits gorgeous luster, covered by
saffron, violet, and aqua hues on the obverse. The reverse displays
equally gorgeous patina of a more monochromatic sort, copper-
orange at the rims with silver centers. A fully struck jewel for the
color enthusiasts. Census: 13 in 67, 1 finer (4/10). (#7318)
Choice Proof 1886 Morgan
1230 1886 PR64 NGC. A fully struck Choice proof that has obvious
frost throughout the devices and legends, although no Cameo
designation has been secured, perhaps due to slightly subdued field
reflectivity. A wisp or two of faint peach toning denies absolute
brilliance. A mere 886 proofs were struck. (#7321)
1231 1887—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Proof. Peach-gold
and navy-blue emerge when this fully struck proof is rotated beneath
a light. Faint hairlines are present, but require patience and a strong
lens to locate. A meager 710 proofs were issued. (#7322)
Near-Gem Proof 1888 Morgan Dollar
1232 1888 PR64 NGC. Generous daubs of copper-orange occupy the
centers of this near-Gem proof Morgan, while bands of ice-blue and
mint encircle the rims on each side. This piece shows only a few
tiny signs of contact, although the strike is soft at the hair over the
ear, a characteristic usually seen on proofs of this issue. Census: 50
in 64, 37 finer (4/10). (#7323)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 201
1888 Morgan Dollar, PR64
Sharply Struck Example
1233 1888 PR64 NGC. From a smallish mintage of 833 pieces, the
1888 proof Morgan dollar is known for its weak central striking
details. The present coin is better than most examples seen, with
only slight softness on the hair above Liberty’s ear. The surfaces
show minimal handling marks for the grade, but the reflectivity is
slightly muted. Census: 50 in 64, 37 finer (4/10). (#7323)
Cameo Choice Proof 1888 Morgan
1234 1888 PR64 Cameo NGC. VAM-25, R.7. Light repunching
is visible on all four date digits. In his Complete Encyclopedia,
Breen assigned the number 5600 to this variety, and called it “very
rare.” VAMWorld.com notes there is also a misplaced 8 within
the denticles between the 88 in the date. The present specimen
has obvious white-on-black contrast and a hint of golden toning
near the rims. Census: 11 in 64 Cameo, 20 finer (4/10). (#87323)
1235 1892—Artificial Toning—NGC Details. Proof. Dusky jade-green
fills the borders, while the centers are chestnut-brown. Careful
rotation beneath a light fails to locate any hairlines, and the
fields display moderate reflectivity. Proof mintages of silver dollars
increased in 1892 due to the introduction of the Barber dime,
quarter, and half that year.(#7327)
Attractive PR63 1892 Morgan Dollar
1236 1892 PR63 NGC. This is an impressive coin for the grade. The
fields are deeply mirrored and each side has a slight overlay of
mint frost on the devices, not enough to call the coin a Cameo,
but enough to give it an added element of visual appeal. As usually
seen, there is high point softness over Liberty’s ear—a trend that
began on proof Morgans in 1888. The obverse has light rose toning
while the reverse is gunmetal-gray. (#7327)
1237 1892 PR67 Cameo NGC. The 1892 proof dollars came from
a relatively high mintage of 1,245 pieces. According to David
Bowers, writing in his Silver and Trade dollars reference (1993),
this is explained by “... their inclusion in 1892 silver Proof sets,
which were in special demand due to the new Barber designs for the
dime, quarter, and half dollar.”
Wisps of light tan-gold color gravitate to the obverse rim, and
extend slightly into the fields on the reverse. The frosted devices
yield stunning contrast with the deeply mirrored fields. The design
elements are sharply struck, except for the usual weakness in the
centers. In this regard, Bowers says: “The situation of flatly struck
Proof coins began in 1888. Dollars dated 1892 continue the trend
and show lightness of strike above Miss Liberty’s ear ... and on the
eagle’s breast feathers.” The immaculately preserved surfaces do not
show any marks that could be used for pedigree purposes. Census:
17 in 67 Cameo, 4 finer (4/10). (#87327)
1238 1893 PR62 NGC. Light sun-gold toning fills the borders of this
scarce and pleasing proof Morgan dollar. The eagle and wreath
provide cameo contrast, as does Liberty’s cap and curls. Only the
hair above the ear lacks a precise impression. Just 792 proofs were
struck. (#73 28)
Select Proof 1894 Morgan Dollar
1239 1894 PR63 NGC. Frost is noticeable throughout the portrait,
wreath, and eagle, but NGC has omitted the Cameo designation.
The fields retain reflectivity despite medium caramel-gold and
stone-gray toning. Faint hairlines are evident beneath a lens, along
with minor carbon on the obverse margin. A meager 972 proofs
were issued. (#7329)

1895 Morgan Dollar, Attractive PR61 Cameo
1240 1895 PR61 Cameo PCGS. Among the most intriguing
perspectives on the mystery of the business-strike 1895 Morgan
dollars comes from Roger W. Burdette, who published his article
“Philly 1895 Morgan dollars” in the July 3, 2006 supplement to
Coin World. He lays out his case for the business strike 1895
Morgan dollars actually having been produced, a case that
includes an argument for “expedience and profit” as motives
for coining a single tiny batch of Morgan dollars. Then he
addressed the fate that likely awaited those coins:
“ the most plausible explanation is that they were
flattened then melted as part of 270,232,722 silver
dollars (more than 270,232 bags) converted to bullion.
... Twelve bags dated 1895 represented an insignificant
0.004 percent of silver dollars melted; it is unlikely
anyone would have noticed or cared about a few bags
stamped T895.’”
With most collectors’ dreams of owning a business-strike
1895 Morgan dollar dashed, the only way to fulfill the desire
for the date is through the mintage of 880 proofs for that year,
proofs such as this captivating specimen. This example shows
noticeable contrast between the fields and devices on each side,
and there is a slight layer of even golden color on each side.
The coin actually has the appearance of a higher grade with
the PR61 designation accounted for by several light, scattered
contact marks on Liberty’s cheek and in the fields. (#87330)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 203
1241 1897 PR62 NGC. Delicate mauve toning visits this prominently
mirrored and attractive specimen. A faint fingerprint fragment on
the obverse near 3 o’clock is of little import. Well struck save for
the hair above the ear. Only 731 proofs were issued.(#7332)
Attractive 1898 Morgan Dollar, PR64
1242 1898 PR64 PCGS. CAC. From a meager mintage of 735 pieces,
the 1898 proof Morgan dollar is usually found with sharp striking
details and deeply mirrored fields. The present coin is a particularly
attractive example, with subtle hints of cerulean-blue and emerald-
green toning. Overall visual appeal is outstanding, as attested by
the CAC sticker. Population: 50 in 64, 36 finer (4/10). (#7333)
1243 1898 PR64 Cameo NGC. Rich peach-gold, cobalt-blue, and
cherry-red peripheral toning emerges when this razor-sharp proof
Morgan dollar is rotated beneath a light. When viewed from a
different angle, the fields transform to gunmetal-blue, and the
devices acquire frost. Census: 13 in 64 Cameo, 24 finer (4/10).
(#87333)
Delightful PR64 Cameo 1900 Dollar
1244 1900 PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Distinctly contrasted with
primarily silver-white devices strongly frosted. Intense mirrors show
a variety of green-gold shades, as well as more intense orange colors
close to parts of the rims. Well-defined with minor hairlines which
account for the grade. Population: 14 in 64 Cameo, 12 finer (4/10).
(#87335)

Monumental 1900 Morgan Dollar
PR68 ★ Cameo, VAM-32
Tied for Finest Certified
1245 1900 PR68 ★ Cameo NGC. CAC. VAM-32. Extra 0 in
denticles. As VAMWorld.com puts it, “Top of 0 shows in
denticles as raised curved bar in denticle space between 00
and small curved tick in adjacent right denticle space. Date set
further left than normal.” The small curved tick in the adjacent
right denticle is quite faint (small), but the raised curved bar
can be seen clearly with a standard good 7x or lOx loupe. The
site gives no price history for the variety but notes that it was
“discovered by C. Logan McKechnie in November 2003.” This
piece should nonetheless command a high price after some
spirited bidding—whether the high bidder is a type collector or
VAM specialist—as it is one of the finest certified examples of
the 1900 proof issue.
The proof mintage of the 1900 Morgan dollar was 912
pieces, a nominal amount within the series, although it was
the largest since the 1894 production of 972 coins. The larger
total of proof silver dollars made was likely due to the turn
of the century. A new reverse hub for the Morgan dollar was
introduced in 1900, which numismatists call the C4 hub. It
shows extremely minor differences from the old hub, known as
C3. This piece shows some of the near-horizontal spines within
the bow on the reverse that Bowers mentions in his Silver Dollar
Encyclopedia as characteristic of the C3 reverse hub.
Die varieties aside, this is a monumentally attractive coin,
fully meriting the NGC Star designation for superior eye appeal,
and the Cameo designation for its deep contrast between the
fields and devices. The surfaces are lightly toned in a delightful
melange of silver-gold, lilac, and heather, and contact marks are
essentially absent, as demanded by the grade. This piece is one
of the three numerically finest-graded at NGC in PR68 Star,
tied with one other Cameo example and one Ultra Cameo.
(#87335)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 205
1246 1901 PR61 NGC. Only a trace of gold toning appears over this
lightly hairlined proof dollar. Both sides have sharp design features,
fully brilliant mirrored fields, and faint cameo contrast.(#7336)
1247 1901 PR61 NGC. VAM-4. The reverse is die doubled,
strongest on ONE DOLLAR, a diagnostic for the proof issue of
this conditionally challenging Philadelphia date. A well struck
specimen with moderately frosty devices and reflective almond'
gold, lilac, and sea-green fields. (#7336)
Upper-End 1901 Dollar, PR63
1248 1901 PR63 NGC. Our first impression of this coin is that it
appears to be undergraded. Yes, there are hairlines present, but
they are light and not visible without a magnifier. The second
impression is to note the slight contrast between the devices and
the unfathomably deep mirrors in the fields. Both sides have light
pinkish-gray patina, and there are no obvious contact marks on
either side. Always of interest to Morgan collectors because of the
extreme rarity of 1901 circulation strikes. (#7336)
1249 1902—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Proof. Mottled
russet-brown and cream-gray toning blankets this specimen. The
centers show moderate incompleteness. No hairlines are readily
observed beneath the milky patina. Only 777 proofs were issued.
(#7337)
Incredible 1903 Morgan, PR68
1250 1903 PR68 NGC. This absolutely incredible Superb Gem proof
borders on perfection. The strike is sharp with fully mirrored fields
and reflective devices, as on nearly all proof dollars from the early
1900s. This piece has deep blue, green, gold, and iridescent toning
on both sides, and it possesses a high degree of aesthetic desirability.
Lor the advanced Morgan dollar specialist, or the collector seeking
a high quality proof for a type set, this example is unbeatable. Only
five submissions have been graded PR68, all at NGC, with none
finer (4/10). (#7338)
1251 1904 PR61 ANACS. Glossy surfaces are lightly gray-toned overall
with claret and mauve elements at the borders. The centers have a
typically soft strike, and close inspection of the fields turns up a
number of hairlines which account for the grade.(#7339)
PEACE DOLLARS
1252 1921 MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 50 Variety. The earliest
VAM in the Top 50 Peace dollar reference, and famous due to the
reengraved (as made) ray that crosses over the first L in DOLLAR.
Lustrous and smooth with pastel ivory-gray and almond-gold toning.
The centers display typical incompleteness of strike.(#7356)
1253 1921 MS65 PCGS Secure. CAC. Silver-blue and caramel-gold
adorn this lustrous first-year Peace dollar. The strike is above
average for the high relief subtype. The fields and the reverse appear
nearly unabraded. Clashed near the eagle’s shoulders.(#7356)
1254 1921 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Lrosty silver overall with a few flecks of
deep obsidian color at the reverse margins. A well struck coin for
the issue and an appealing Gem.(#7356)
206

Toned 1921 Peace Dollar, MS66
1255 1921 MS66 PCGS. This Premium Gem is virtually a full strike,
with only slight weakness in the usual locations. The surfaces are
fully lustrous with intense mint frost. The obverse has delightful
violet and blue toning. The toning on this piece actually reminds
us of the 1983 ANA poster by Peter Max, commissioned by Kagin’s.
(#7356)
Well-Struck, Lustrous Gem 1924-S Peace Dollar
1261 1924-S MS65 NGC. This is a difficult issue to find welbstruck and
with good luster, but the present Gem is nonetheless such a piece,
with frosty luster beaming from silver-white surfaces and a bold
strike through the center high points. Few coins of this issue are
certified in MS66 at either service. Census: 64 in 65, 1 finer (4/10).
(#7364)
1256 1922-S MS65 PCGS. Strong, swirling luster is the prime attribute
of this well-preserved Gem. Hints of gold and russet toning appear
at the margins of this otherwise silver-gray coin, and the centers
show a degree of striking softness.(#7359)
1257 1923 MS61 PCGS. VAM-1C. A Top 50 Variety. The desirable
late die state of the “Tail on O” variety. The die break from the base
of the O in DOLLAR is larger than is seen on either photograph
for the VAM in the Top 50 reference. This lustrous example has
dove-gray centers and golden-brown borders. The surfaces are
uncommonly devoid of marks for the MS61 grade.(#133754)
1258 1923 MS62 PCGS. VAM-IE. A Top 50 Variety. The “Broken
Wing” VAM with three die lumps on the wing connected by a
slender die crack. Light to medium golden-tan toning this visits
lustrous example. Well preserved save for a concealed thin mark on
the eagle’s rock, and sharply struck aside from the tops of the TY in
LIBERTY. (#133 756)
Brilliant 1923-S Peace Dollar, MS65
1259 1923-S MS65 PCGS. The 1923-S dollar usually comes poorly
struck (David Bowers, 2006). Our Gem offering in this lot displays
better-than-average definition, as evidenced by the sharpness in
most of Liberty’s hair. White surfaces exude bright luster, and are
well preserved save for a few grade-consistent marks. Only four
coins have been certified in a higher numerical grade by NGC and
PCGS combined (4/10). (#7362)
1260 1924-S MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. VAM-2. Low S. A lustrous
and virtually brilliant near-Gem that has a few delicate tan freckles
on each side. This attractively preserved and sharply struck better
date Peace dollar possesses interesting clash marks and obverse die
polish lines. (#7364)
1262 1925-S MS64 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 50 Variety. The right
edge of the eagle’s wing is die doubled, hence the “Doubled Wing”
moniker. A satiny and unblemished near-Gem with cream-gray and
straw-gold toning. A better date, with or without doubled wing
status. (#7366)
Radiant Gem 1927-S Dollar
1263 1927-S MS65 NGC. The mintage of this issue was less than 1
million coins—866,000, to be exact—and many typical examples
have quality issues. This is one of the highly reflective examples
that likely stems from the Redfield hoard, with radiant cartwheel
luster from silver-white, satiny surfaces, that have only a suggestion
of lilac and ice-blue color. The strike is good through the centers,
although a few ticks on the reverse preclude an even finer grade.
Census: 71 in 65, 1 finer (4/10). (#7372)
1264 1928 MS64 PCGS. A well-defined near-Gem example of this
popular key issue, lightly gray-toned with two spots of brown toning
along the jawline. Small ticks on the left side of the portrait and in
the adjacent field contribute to the grade.(#7373)
1265 1928 MS64 NGC. With a series low mintage of 360,649 pieces,
the 1928 Peace dollar is an important key issue. The present coin
exhibits a better-than-average strike and strong mint luster. Areas
of gold toning intermingle with predominately brilliant surfaces.
(#7373)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT
207
1266 1928 MS65 PCGS. While the famous 1928 Peace dollar is
accessible in grades through near-Gem level, in MS65 it becomes
elusive, just as demand for high-end examples becomes strongest.
This bright silver-white example has a faint “skin” of patina with
small luster grazes. A rim nick at the M of AMERICA on the
reverse contributes to the grade. (#7373)
Lovely MS65 1928 Peace Dollar
1267 1928 MS65 PCGS. Light golden hints influence the pale
gray toning that drapes the lustrous surfaces of this Gem. The
central devices are well-defined and minimally marked. The most
significant abrasions are two tiny rim nicks near the eagle’s wing
and tail feathers. PCGS has certified only 11 coins in finer grades
(4/10). (#7373)
1271 1934-S MS63 PCGS. This Peace dollar issue with a mintage just
above a million pieces is available for a price in all circulated and
several Mint State grades, though starting at the Select level, that
price becomes steep. The present coin has strong golden overtones
across pale silver-gray surfaces. Minimally abraded but with a long
luster graze just to the left of Liberty’s profile and another, shorter
graze near the truncation of the bust. (#7377)
Elusive 1934-S Peace Dollar, MS64
1272 1934-S MS64 PCGS. This sharply detailed 1934'S has a full quota
of frosty silver luster beneath deep gold and iridescent toning on
both sides. Although other issues are rarer in high grade, the 1928
and 1934'S Peace dollars are considered the two key dates, elusive
in all grades. (#7377)
1268 1928-S MS64+ PCGS Secure. Outstanding mint luster is the
salient feature of this attractive Near Gem specimen. An available
issue in lower grades, the 1928-S is the most difficult date of the
series to locate in Gem condition.(#7374)
1934-D VAM-4 Doubled Die Dollar, MS64
1269 1934-D MS64 ANACS. VAM-4. A Top 50 Variety. Large D.
The obverse is die doubled, most visible on IN GOD. This is an
important and elusive variety with brilliant and satiny silver luster
and traces of peripheral iridescence. The strike is sharp with bold
reverse details. This is a wonderful example, and an important
variety. (#7376)
1270 1934-D MS65 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 50 Variety. Medium D.
Liberty’s profile is strongly die doubled, as is the D WE in IN GOD
WE TRUST. The borders are lightly toned golden-brown and sea-
green. Lustrous and well preserved with a clean cheek and good eye
appeal. (#73 76)
1273 1935 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Delicate almond-gold toning adorns
this lustrous and precisely struck final-year low mintage Gem.
Attractively preserved, and a bargain relative to the next finer
grade. (#73 78)
PROOF SUSAN B. ANTHONY DOLLAR
1274 1981-S Type Two PR70 Deep Cameo PCGS. Llawless quicksilver
surfaces broadcast their broad appeal, with deep contrast and a
complete absence of distractions. The Type Two mintmark has
large, bulbous serifs and is less symmetrical than the Type One,
appearing almost to be upside-down. (#99595)
SACAGAWEA DOLLAR
1275 2000-P Goodacre MS69 PCGS. The Goodacre presentation
Sacagawea dollars feature a strongly reflective surface texture
with no evidence of contrast. This sharply struck and near-perfect
example holds to the rule with its gleaming yellow surfaces.
Population: 14 in 69, 0 finer (4/10).(#99584)
PRESIDENTIAL DOLLAR
1276 2007 Thomas Jefferson—Missing Edge Lettering—MS66 PCGS.
By the time of third President’s turn in the Presidential dollar series,
the Mint had greatly reduced the unintended release of plain edge
examples. Jefferson dollars without edge lettering are much scarcer
than their George Washington equivalents. Also of significance,
the present coin has dazzling luster and a near-absence of marks.

COMMEMORATIVE SILVER
1277 1893 Isabella Quarter MS65 NGC. Dusky peach and violet
shadings embrace the obverse, while the reverse has a touch of
lighter silver color at the centers. A well struck Gem, carefully
preserved and beautiful. (#9220)
1278 1893 Isabella Quarter MS65 NGC. An attractively toned and
highly lustrous Gem. This piece features dusted caramel-gold and
ocean-blue across the obverse, while the reverse displays peripheral
light rose, golden-brown, and lavender toning. Powerful satiny
luster graces both sides and highlights the sharply defined design
elements. (#9220)
1279 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS63 PCGS. Du Vail 1-B. Light golden
toning over soft but pleasing luster. Several light abrasions on
Washington’s portrait contribute to the grade. Still, a fundamentally
attractive example of this famous commemorative issue.
(#9222)
1280 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS63 PCGS. Du Vail 1-B. Light almond-
gold toning invigorates this lustrous and precisely struck silver
dollar. The surfaces are surprisingly free from bagmarks, but careful
rotation reveals a few delicate parallel slide marks on the portrait of
Washington. (#9222)
1281 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS63 NGC. DuVall 2-C. Actually struck
in 1899, the Lafayette Memorial dollar is the first commemorative
silver dollar. The present coin is a pleasing Select example with
gray and steel-blue toning. Well struck from hand-made dies.
(#9222)
Near-Gem 1900 Lafayette Dollar
1282 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS64 PCGS. DuVall 2-C. A slightly
better die pairing with a recut second S in STATES and second A
in AMERICA. Satiny and minimally abraded with moderate russet-
brown and forest-green toning that mostly accompanies the borders.
A well struck example of the only classic-era commemorative silver
dollar. (#9222)
Top-Drawer 1900 Lafayette Dollar, MS65
1283 1900 Lafayette Dollar MS65 PCGS Secure. DuVall 2-C. This is
a simply top-drawer example of the Lafayette commemorative silver
dollar that will never need replacing in some fortunate bidder’s
collection. Marvelous original color on each side consists of lovely
rose-pink in the centers, radiating outward to delicate jade-green.
A loupe reveals no contact at all, only interesting small die cracks
around the peripheral letters on each side. PCGS has certified 83
representatives finer (4/10). (#9222)
1284 1921 Alabama 2x2 MS65 NGC. A lustrous Gem example of this
more challenging Alabama variant, minimally toned overall with
a solid strike in general. Only minor striking softness is perceptible
on the eagle.(#9225)
Lustrous 1921 Alabama 2x2 Half, MS66
1285 1921 Alabama 2x2 MS66 PCGS. CAC. An uncommonly
well-preserved example of the more elusive ‘2x2’ Alabama
commemorative variant, softly lustrous beneath rich layers of
green-gold, blue, and violet patina. Minor striking softness is as
usually seen, but the impressive preservation on each side is far
above the norm. Population: 69 in 66, 5 finer (4/10). (#9225)
1286 1937 Antietam MS66 PCGS. CAC. Dynamic luster sweeps this
undisturbed chestnut-brown Premium Gem. Boldly struck save for
the land beneath the bridge. Encapsulated in an old green label
holder. (#9229)
1287 1937 Antietam MS66 NGC. An interesting Civil War-related
commemorative, with an actual day date of September 17, 1862,
rather than the traditional annual date. The present coin is a
spectacular Premium Gem, with intricate detail on all design
elements and pristine brilliant surfaces.(#9229)
1288 1937 Antietam MS67 NGC. The tab-toned obverse displays
blended orange, apple-green, and crimson across much of its
periphery. The reverse exhibits only light caramel-gold and slate
patina. A lustrous and unmarked Superb Gem of this popular Civil
War type.(#9229)
1289 1937 Antietam MS67 NGC. Original tab toning is featured on
the reverse, displayed in sea-green and apricot shades where the
coin was in contact with its issued cardboard holder for many years.
Lustrous and well struck with exemplary preservation. (#9229)
1290 1935-D Arkansas MS67 NGC. A virtually stone-white Superb
Gem that boasts dynamic luster and pleasing preservation.
Just 5,505 pieces were struck. Census: 28 in 67, 2 finer (4/10).
(#9234)
1291 1936-S Bay Bridge MS67 PCGS Secure. CAC. Splendid cherry-
red, forest-green, and slate-gray toning embraces this undisturbed
and exceptionally preserved Superb Gem. Although PCGS has
certified a few pieces in higher grades, the eye appeal of the present
coin is competitive with any other example.(#9254)
1292 1936-S Bay Bridge MS67 PCGS Secure. CAC. This virtually
pristine Superb Gem offers light pearl-gray and caramel-gold toning.
Luster glimmers across the fully struck surfaces. As of (4/10), PCGS
has graded only nine examples higher. (#9254)
1293 1935 Boone MS67 PCGS Secure. Only delicately toned in
ice-blue and chestnut-gold aside from a blush of orange-red and
apple-green on STATES. A satiny and nearly mark-free high grade
example. Lightly die doubled on the final A in AMERICA and the
AR in DOLLAR. Population: 34 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).(#9258)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT

Lustrous, Lightly Toned MS67 1935/34-S Boone Half
1294 1935/34-S Boone MS67 PCGS. While the Philadelphia
1935/1934 is a common coin and can be used for type purposes, the
D- and S-mints are keys to the Boone series, with only 2,000 pieces
struck of each. This 1935/34-S piece is one of the finest survivors
of that tiny mintage. The lustrous surfaces are lightly and evenly
toned over each side, although of slightly different colors, mostly
silver-white to powder-gray with a touch of cinnamon near the
rims. Population: 15 in 67, 2 finer (4/10). (#9264)
1295 1936 Boone MS67 NGC. Deep orange, ruby, and russet shadings
grace the reverse border, but the majority of this lustrous Superb
Gem is only gently toned cream-gray. The year 1936 broke
the budget of many commemorative collectors, since dozens of
different varieties were issued that year. NGC has graded just four
numerically finer examples (4/10).(#9266)
1296 1937 Boone MS65 Prooflike NGC. A sensational example, this
Gem 1937 Boone has impressive, fully prooflike fields with light
gold and iridescent toning on each side. This remarkable Gem will
easily satisfy the connoisseur.(#89270)
1297 1937-D Boone MS64 Prooflike NGC. Aside from a few tiny
toning specks on each side, this piece has brilliant silver surfaces
with fully prooflike mirrors. It is sharply struck and highly attractive,
a coin with excellent eye appeal.(#89271)
1298 1937 Boone PDS Set MS67 PCGS. CAC. A matched set of
Boone commemoratives, with a stunning Superb Gem example
from each mint. Each specimen is sharply struck, with pristine
surfaces, and displays outstanding eye appeal, as attested by the
CAC stickers.(Total: 3 coins)(#9273)
1299 1925-S California MS67 NGC. Lovely golden-brown, apple-
green, and plum-mauve adorn the peripheries of this lustrous and
precisely struck Superb Gem. The reverse appears immaculate, and
the obverse field has only the faintest grazes. (#9281)
Colorful MS67 1936-D Cincinnati Half
1300 1936-D Cincinnati MS67 NGC. Caramel-gold, powder-blue, and
forest-green toning enriches this pristine Superb Gem. Among
the most challenging commemorative types, especially with such
exceptional eye appeal. Census: 32 in 67, 2 finer (4/10).
Ex: Dallas Signature ( Heritage, 12/2004), lot 7873, which realized
$2,530. (#9284)
1301 1936-D Columbia MS67 PCGS. CAC. Lovely light to medium
peach-red and lime-green toning embraces this lustrous and fully
struck Superb Gem. Many commemorative types were issued in
1936, but the Columbia is among the scarcest, since the mintage
was divided into separately collected PDS issues.(#9292)
1302 1892 Columbian MS66 PCGS. CAC. Light traces of green and
lavender toning visit the surfaces of this delightful Premium Gem
commemorative. The finely detailed design elements complement
the delicate interplay of color to produce intense visual appeal.
(#9296)
MS67 ★ 1892 Columbian Half
With Rich Peripheral Toning
1303 1892 Columbian MS67 ★ NGC. While Columbian
commemorative halves can be located in most Mint State grades
with little difficulty, specimens in the lofty grade of Superb Gem
are extremely rare, especially those few designated with the NGC
Star. Radiantly lustrous surfaces covered in exquisite cobalt-
blue, lavender, and gold-orange toning invigorate the present
offering. The design elements are sharply impressed, including all
of the continental outlines. Close inspection reveals the coin to
be remarkably abrasion-free. Census: 13 in 67 ★, 0 finer (4/10).
(#9296)
1304 1893 Columbian MS66 NGC. CAC. This gorgeous Premium
Gem has frosty silver luster at the centers, with a frame of lovely
iridescent toning on each side. Highly attractive, this is coin with
excellent eye appeal. NGC has only certified 27 finer pieces (4/10).
(#9297)
1305 1928 Hawaiian—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. Light
rub crosses the high points, and surfaces largely devoid of luster
show hairlines from a past cleaning. A few touches of greenish-gold
toning are present at the lower reverse. (#9309)
Attractive 1928 Hawaiian Half Dollar, MS64
1306 1928 Hawaiian MS64 NGC. CAC. The Hawaiian is not only
a popular key coin within the commemorative silver half series,
it also is one of the issues in the series that also has an attractive
design, something that collectors would not say about some of
the coins in the series. These could properly be called Hawaiian
Sesquicentennial halves, as they mark the 150th anniversary of
Captain James Cook’s “discovery” of the Sandwich Islands. This
near-Gem boasts attractive frosty silver-white patina with a touch
of color near the rims. Marks are minimal for the grade. (#9309)

Brilliant MS65 1928 Hawaiian Half
1307 1928 Hawaiian MS65 NGC. Unlike many Hawaiian halves,
this piece is brilliant over each side and lacks the often-seen
greenish patina. The mint luster is satiny and bright, and each side
is remarkably free from the marks that usually accompany these
pieces. This low-mintage commemorative has been considered a
key to the series since issuance. (#9309)
1308 1925 Lexington MS66 PCGS. CAC. This virtually pristine silver
commemorative has only a whisper of gold toning, along with a
solitary pinpoint gray freckle above the second C in CONCORD.
The minuteman motif was resurrected 75 years later for the
Massachusetts statehood quarter.(#9318)
1309 1925 Lexington MS66 PCGS. Minimally toned with outstanding
silver-white luster. Well struck with just a few small marks away
from the prime focal areas. PCGS has graded a mere nine finer
examples (4/10).(#9318)
1310 1936 Lynchburg MS67 NGC. This well struck and minimally
abraded Superb Gem has a rich band of lavender, ruby-red, and
jade-green across most of the reverse border. The obverse has similar
but lighter peripheral toning. Census: 89 in 67, 6 finer (4/10).
Ex: Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 3867, which realized
$1,265. (#9324)
1311 1921 Missouri MS63 PCGS. Faint suggestions of golden color
with bright silver luster overall. Well struck for the issue but with
typical softness at the portrait’s cap and the reverse frontiersman’s
shoulder. (#9330)
1312 1921 Missouri 2x4 MS63 PCGS. Better-defined than usually
seen on the obverse, but the usual reverse softness is noted on the
frontiersman’s shoulder. Peach and gold toning lies lightly over the
border-zones, while the centers are brighter silver. (#9331)
1313 1923-S Monroe MS65 PCGS. Pleasingly lustrous with silver-
toned centers. The margins offer more colorful patina in waves of
gold, blue, and violet. PCGS has certified 59 finer pieces (4/10).
(#9333)
1314 1936 Norfolk MS68 PCGS. CAC. A delightful Superb Gem
example, strongly toned at the margins with near-brilliant centers.
The obverse has tan and gold colors, while the reverse offers deeper
violet hues.(#9337)
MS66 1925 Norse Medal, Thin Planchet
1315 1925 Norse Thin Planchet MS66 NGC. This Thin Planchet
Norse medal shows some interesting strike doubling on the upper
legends and Viking warrior. This medal is collected alongside the
classic commemorative half dollars, but Bowers nonetheless sticks to
the letter of the law, excluding it entirely from his commemorative
coins Guide Book, since it is not a “coin” per se. This Premium Gem
has light golden tinges over mostly silver-white surfaces with good
eye appeal. (#9451)
1316 1926-S Oregon MS67 PCGS. CAC. Beautiful rainbow toning
invigorates the upper obverse margin with narrow arcs of fire-red,
honey-gold, and sea-green. Light golden-brown toning clings to
other peripheral areas. Unabraded, and well struck save for the back
edge of the wagon. Population: 95 in 67, 4 finer (4/10).(#9341)
1317 1926-S Oregon MS67 NGC. A frosty Superb Gem, this 1926-S
Oregon half dollar has fully brilliant silver surfaces with a frame
of peripheral iridescence. NGC has only certified nine finer pieces
(4/10).(#9341)
1318 1939-D Oregon MS67 PCGS. A virtually perfect specimen of what
many collectors believe to be the most beautiful commemorative
issue. This Superb Gem example displays mostly brilliant surfaces
with hints of green and gold at the borders. (#9353)
1319 1915-S Panama-Pacific MS64 NGC. A softly lustrous near-Gem
example of this popular classic commemorative issue. The obverse
has a silver center with gold and violet border toning, while the
reverse has more extensive patina in those colors and also green
and blue. (#9357)
1320 1915-S Panama-Pacific MS64 NGC. CAC. Lightly gold-toned
overall with a narrow arc of deeper color across the upper reverse. A
lustrous near-Gem with faintly textured, modestly abraded surfaces.
(#9357)
1321 1915-S Panama-Pacific MS64 PCGS. Well struck for a Panama-
Pacific half but with a measure of the usual peripheral softness.
Small marks on the woman’s arms contribute to the grade, though
rich peach and gold peripheral toning lends this near-Gem
considerable eye appeal.(#935 7)
1322 1915-S Panama-Pacific MS64 NGC. Satiny and well struck with
a faint overlay of tan-gold on each side. The reverse is essentially
pristine, and the obverse is nearly as clean aside from a single thin
mark near the N in PANAMA.
Ex: Santa Clara Signature (Heritage, 11/2002), lot 8242, which
realized $862.50.(#9357)
1323 1915-S Panama-Pacific MS65 PCGS. A lovely and luminous
Gem representative that offers a thin layer of gold patina over each
side and a ring of apple-green, apricot, and lilac toning across the
reverse periphery. Well-defined with excellent surface quality for
this early commemorative half dollar issue.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2007), lot 2161, which realized
$1,610.(#9357)

1324 1915-S Panama-Pacific MS66 PCGS. This pleasing Premium
Gem is edge-toned like many of its Panama-Pacific brethren,
with bands of blue, peach-tan, and gold more prominent and
colorful on the obverse. The centers and most of the major devices
remain resolutely silver-gray. Strong luster throughout and careful
preservation add up to impressive eye appeal. PCGS has certified
79 coins finer (4/10). (#9357)
Dazzling Prooflike 1936 Rhode Island, MS66
Rarely Seen With Reflective Fields
Charming MS66 1915-S Panama-Pacific Half
Remarkable MS66 1926 Sesquicentennial Half
1325 1936 Rhode Island MS66 Prooflike NGC. CAC. Little is
known about Prooflike Rhode Island halves. The distribution of
these pieces was so fraught with cronyism it is no wonder that
records are not extant for special strikings. Nevertheless, they
do exist, although proofs apparently do not. How many exist is
open to question, and is probably best indicated by the number
certified. This is a wonderful example. The fields are brightly
mirrored and the devices do not show any contrasting mint frost,
resembling the proofs struck between 1902 and 1905. Both sides are
completely brilliant and dazzling, and the devices lack the usually
seen abrasions. Census: nine in MS66, with none finer at (5/10).
(#89363)
1326 1936-S Rhode Island MS67 PCGS. CAC. A silky-smooth
Rhode Island half with pale lilac and pastel-rose obverse toning,
intensifying several shades on the reverse into orange, green, and
bright carmine iridescence. A one-of-a-kind example that is bound
to excite the toned commemorative enthusiast. Population: 14 in
67,0 finer (4/10).(#9365)
1327 1936-S Rhode Island MS62 Prooflike NGC. Here is a wonderful
Rhode Island half dollar that exhibits prooflike surfaces beneath
light golden-brown and iridescent toning. Commemorative
half dollars with prooflike surfaces are elusive and desirable.
(#89365)
1328 1926 Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. CAC. Attractively toned
in peach, rose, and apple-green shades. This lustrous Gem has
only inconsequential post-strike contact, although the centers
retain traces of the planchet surface, as invariably seen on this
conditionally challenging type.(#9374)
1329 1926 Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. Deeply variegated golden-
brown, apple-green, and ruby-red patina encompasses this
shimmering and minimally abraded Gem. The only commemorative
type (so far) featuring Calvin Coolidge. Certified in a green
label holder. PCGS has graded only eight pieces finer (4/10).
(#9374)
1330 1926 Sesquicentennial MS66 NGC. CAC. Both the
Sesquicentennial half dollar and quarter eagle were struck in low
relief. The original design for the half dollar, by Mint chief engraver
John Sinnock, was rejected by the overseeing authority of the
Sesquicentennial Association, which had the audacity to submit
design sketches from a local attorney for translation into models.
Most of the 1 million-plus half dollars subsequently coined went
unsold and were melted. This Condition Census example offers
outstanding mint luster, with pale rose, lilac, and yellow iridescent
toning over each side. The surfaces are remarkably clean and
attractive. Census: 17 in 66, 0 finer (4/10). (#9374)
1331 1935 Spanish Trail—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details.
Unc. There is actually little if any evidence of cleaning on this
lustrous Mint State piece. Both sides have pale champagne toning
over brilliant silver surfaces with hazy tan patina on the obverse.
(#9376)
1332 1935 Spanish Trail MS64 ANACS. Rich autumn-gold, rose-
red, and lime-green toning embraces this satiny and carefully
preserved representative. A sharply struck near-Gem of this popular
commemorative. (#93 76)
1333 1935 Spanish Trail MS65 NGC. Olive-gray fields and devices
are accompanied by golden-brown toning within the legends. An
original and minimally abraded Gem of this popular low mintage
silver commemorative type.(#93 76)
1334 1925 Stone Mountain MS67 PCGS. Light but distinctive green-
gold and silver-blue shadings wash over each side of this Superb
Gem Stone Mountain half. Strong luster shines through the patina,
and the strike is generally pleasing if not absolutely sharp. PCGS
has graded six finer examples (4/10).(#9378)

1335 1946 Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. Fully patinated in
lavish shades of orange, lavender, and jade-green. This lustrous and
boldly struck Superb Gem will impressive even the experienced
silver commemorative specialist. Census: 61 in 67, 2 finer (4/10).
(#9404)
1946-D Booker T. Washington Half, MS67
Vivid Obverse Toning
1336 1946-D Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. The 1946-D Booker
T. Washington issue is neither fish nor fowl, as both its original
mintage—200,113 coins—and its net distribution—estimated by
Bowers at 50,000—put it in the middle ground between the 1946-P
issue, most common in the series, and the later series issues that are
seldom encountered and pricier at the Superb Gem level. This coin
displays a nearly untoned reverse combined with delicate rose-gold
patina covering the obverse. An issue seldom seen finer. Census: 54
in 67, 5 finer (4/10). (#9405)
Magnificent MS67 1946-S Booker T. Washington
1337 1946-S Booker T. Washington MS67 PCGS. Splendid forest-green
and crimson-red toning ensures the eye appeal of this satiny and
unabraded Superb Gem. An important acquisition for the connoisseur
of patinated silver. Population: 48 in 67, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Portland, Oregon Signature (Heritage, 3/2004), lot 6982, which
realized $2,990. (#9406)
1338 1949-S Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. CAC. Impressively
lustrous with suggestions of tan-gold toning over generally silver
surfaces. A well-preserved Superb Gem that shows minor planchet
roughness on the jaw, as usually seen. Census: 46 in 67, 0 finer
(4/10).(#9418)
1339 1951-D Booker T. Washington MS67 NGC. A shining Superb
Gem example of this final-year BTW half, toned gold to orange
at the obverse margins with paler canary-yellow at the peripheral
reverse. Silver centers host well-defined devices, and Washington’s
portrait shows surprisingly little planchet roughness. Census: 31 in
67,0 finer (4/10).(#9425)
1340 1951-S Booker T. Washington MS66 Prooflike NGC. An
absolutely incredible Booker T. Washington half dollar with fully
prooflike surfaces, bold design features, and hints of peripheral gold
and iridescent toning. Worth a substantial premium over a normal
MS66 example.(#89426)
MS66 1954-D Washington-Carver Half
1341 1954-D Washington-Carver MS66 PCGS. The lustrous surfaces
exhibit freckles of golden-brown that are more prevalent on the
reverse. A well executed strike brings excellent definition to
the design features. Uncommon quality for this final year classic
commemorative. Population: 26 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2008), lot 1748, which
realized $3,737.50. (#9443)
Spectacular 1936 York Half, MS68
1342 1936 York MS68 PCGS. CAC. Blushes of deep orange and apple-
green frequent the borders of this highly lustrous and fully struck
silver commemorative. The toning pattern is suggestive of a coin
that has resided in an original cardboard holder for many years. The
fields are immaculate, and the grade is only limited by faint contact
on the county seal. Population: 21 in 68, 0 finer (4/10).
Ex: Sterling Collection, Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/07), lot 1679;
Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/09), lot 3419. (#9449)
COMMEMORATIVE GOLD
1343 1903 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson MS64 NGC. CAC. A
dazzling canary-gold Choice commemorative dollar whose flashy
fields and well impressed devices are free from remotely relevant
contact. (#7443)
1903 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson
Gold Dollar, MS66, With Good Luster
1344 1903 Louisiana Purchase/Jefferson MS66 PCGS Secure. This
first commemorative gold dollar does commemorate an actual
centennial, that of the monumental Louisiana Purchase from
France in 1803. This Premium Gem offers bountiful luster with
orange-gold and hazel tints at the rims. Only a few minuscule
contacts seem to preclude an even finer trade. PCGS has certified
70 examples finer (5/10). (#7443)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 213
1345 1903 Louisiana Purchase/McKinley MS64 NGC. CAC. A boldly
impressed near-Gem example of this commemorative gold dollar
issue, smooth with rich butter-yellow luster. One of two varieties
issued for the Exposition, the other depicting Thomas Jefferson.
(#7444)
1346 1903 Louisiana Purchase/McKinley MS64 NGC. This untoned
and lustrous commemorate gold dollar is interesting for its minor
clashmarks (as issued) on the reverse field. Impressively devoid of
abrasions for the Choice level. (#7444)
Attractive MS64 1904 Lewis and Clark Dollar
1347 1904 Lewis and Clark MS64 NGC. There are few actual marks
on this coin, but there is just the most minor dimming of the luster
in the fields, and some orange-peel effect appears under a few of
the letters on each side. The areas closest to the rim, however,
show considerable prooflike reflectivity, and the eye appeal is quite
high nonetheless, since a good loupe is required to observe the
effects described above. The pretty orange-gold surfaces are a plus.
(#7447)
Near-Gem 1904 Lewis and Clark Gold Dollar
Spectacular Color and Overall Surfaces
1348 1904 Lewis and Clark MS64 PCGS. “Jugate” is the term for two
overlapping heads on a coin, medal, or escutcheon, but on the
1904'1905 Lewis and Clarks, the heads are on opposite sides of the
coins, and there is no tails side. This attractive yellow-gold and lilac
near-Gem example shows only a couple of hair-thin marks on one
side that likely keep it from an even finer grade. (#7447)
Gem 1904 Lewis and Clark Gold Dollar
1349 1904 Lewis and Clark MS65 NGC. A delightful example of this
popular “two-headed” classic gold commemorative from the first
year of the design. Both portraits are impressively detailed, and the
luster is attractive with a mix of cartwheels and satin. The color
is generally yellow but also incorporates green-gold and orange
accents. (#7447)
1350 1905 Lewis and Clark MS61 NGC. Luminous sun-yellow surfaces
show considerable dark green encrustation around the obverse
lettering. Few overt abrasions for the grade assigned. (#7448)
1351 1905 Lewis and Clark MS63 NGC. A satiny honey-tinged
commemorative gold dollar with occasional hints of lime-green.
The strike is precise save for the edges of the dentils, and neither
side has remotely relevant marks. (#7448)
Subtly Patinated 1905 Lewis and Clark, MS65
1352 1905 Lewis and Clark MS65 NGC. The 1905 is the second and
scarcer issue in this two-coin set of commemorative gold pieces.
This is a lovely, upper-end example that is remarkably free from
abrasions. The surfaces show soft mint frost that has reddish-gold
and lilac intermingled over each side. As often seen, there is a bit of
metal flow around the peripheral legends. (#7448)
Satiny Gem 1915-S Pan-Pac Quarter Eagle
1353 1915-S Panama-Pacific Quarter Eagle MS65 NGC. Mythology
and nature collide on this interesting quarter eagle issue, featuring
a hippocampus and Columbia on one side, with an American eagle
on the other. This is a greenish-gold Gem with satiny luster and
many tiny die-polishing lines visible on both sides, along with some
tiny brownish-gray spots in a couple of the peripheral letters that
are visible only under a loupe. (#7450)

1354 Three-Piece 1915-S Panama-Pacific Set With Original Holder.
The set includes: 1915-S Panama-Pacific quarter eagle MS66
NGC, a magnificent sun-gold example, virtually perfect save for
faint roller marks on the head of the hippocampus; 1915-S Panama-
Pacific gold dollar MS66 NGC, lustrous and khaki-gold with a
pristine reverse and only trivial surface imperfections on the canal
worker’s cap; 1915-S Panama-Pacific half dollar—Improperly
Cleaned—NGC Details, Unc., cobalt-blue and lavender obverse
toning, the copper-gold reverse is hairlined; and the original holder
for the three coins, square-shaped with black cardboard exterior
and velvet-lined interior, hinge is intact, VF with minor corner
wear. (Total: 3 coins)
1355 1917 McKinley MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Well struck and
attractive with two bold streaks of brilliant luster impacting the
reverse’s frostiness. The obverse has two small alloy spots along the
lower border. (#7455)
1356 1922 Grant No Star MS63 PCGS. Bold yellow-gold luster on
the obverse pales to straw-gold on the reverse. This Select example
of the Grant gold dollar is better-defined on his hair than most.
(#7458)
1357 1926 Sesquicentennial MS64+ PCGS Secure. Butter-gold
and lime endows minimally abraded surfaces. A fully struck and
shimmering near-Gem of this ultimate classic gold commemorative
issue. (#7466)
1358 1926 Sesquicentennial MS64+ PCGS Secure. An orange-gold
representative with ebullient luster and a full strike. The reverse
has only trivial contact, and the obverse is also smooth despite a
solitary hair-thin line near the torch. (#7466)
1359 1926 Sesquicentennial MS64 NGC. Strong yellow-gold luster is
satiny with orange overtones. A well struck near-Gem that shows
just a few too many wispy abrasions to qualify for a finer grade.
(#7466)
Attractive Gem 1926 Sesquicentennial
Quarter Eagle
1360 1926 Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. Green-gold and orange-gold
compete for territory on this lustrous and highly eye-appealing
Gem Sesquicentennial quarter eagle, a coin with a fittingly
sesquipedalian moniker. The low-relief half dollar and quarter eagle
Sesquicentennial issues were unpopular at the time of issue, but
today the gold quarter eagle is quite popular, while the silver half
dollar is mostly sought by collectors seeking set completion. A few
tiny contact marks are in keeping with the Gem grade. (#7466)
Beautiful Gem 1926 Sesquicentennial Quarter Eagle
1361 1926 Sesquicentennial MS65 PCGS. The reverse of both the
Sesquicentennial half dollar and quarter eagles were by John R.
Sinnock (1888-1947), a mint engraver who linked generations of
such together. Among his earliest Mint work was the redesigned
1921 Morgan dollars, a collaboration with George T. Morgan
(1845-1925), while Sinnock shortly before his death would engrave
the Roosevelt dimes. This is a splendid antique-gold Gem with
minimal marks and satiny luster. Some areas of Independence Hall
deepen to mellow apricot-gold. A beautiful example of this popular
commemorative gold issue, the last in the classic series. (#7466)
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 215
Radiant Gem 1926 Sesquicentennial
Gold Quarter Eagle
1362 1926 Sesquicentennial MS65 NGC. Even small contact marks are
nearly absent on this delightful Gem Sesquicentennial, with lots of
radiant luster over mellow orange-gold surfaces. The Liberty in
the design with her flowing robes somehow embodies the Roaring
Twenties; despite her dignity, she resembles a flapper who could
toss aside her scroll and break into the Charleston in a heartbeat.
This issue is quite elusive in any finer grade, where the certified
populations thin by an order of magnitude. (#7466)

PR67 Deep Cameo 1995-W
Silver American Eagle
1376 1995-W Silver Eagle PR67 Deep Cameo PCGS. A certified
Superb Gem specimen with characteristically bold contrast. Light
cloudy toning has settled over parts of the fields, and a few tiny
flaws are visible on close inspection. The 1995-W issue has an
uncharacteristically low mintage for the silver American Eagle
series and now stands as its key. (#9887)
Amazing 1995-W Silver Eagle, PR69 Ultra Cameo
1377 1995-W Silver Eagle PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC. This sensational
1995-W Silver Eagle has amazing contrast between its highly
lustrous devices and deeply mirrored fields of unending depth. Both
sides are entirely brilliant with no evidence of toning. This issue
is the key to a collection of Silver Eagle’s with a mintage of only a
little over 30,000 pieces. (#9887)
1378 1997 Half-Ounce Platinum Eagle MS70 NGC. The low-mintage
and underrated first-year platinum half-ounce issue, one of just
20,500 pieces struck and represented here as technical perfection.
NGC has certified a mere 20 coins in this ultimate grade, while
the PCGS Population Report lists only three such pieces (4/10).

Perfect MS70 1999-W Tenth-Ounce Gold Eagle
Struck From Unfinished Proof Dies
1379 1999-W Tenth-Ounce Gold Eagle—Unfinished Proof Dies—
MS70 PCGS. The West Point mintmark appears on this tenth-
ounce gold eagle, which prior to 2006 indicates that it should
have a proof finish. But instead, the fields have the satin sheen of
Uncirculated bullion gold coins. A small number of such pieces
were coined during the Y2K hubbub of 1999, in the five and ten
dollar denominations, but the present example is distinguished
by its numismatic perfection. Population: 17 in 70, 0 finer (4/10).

COINS OF HAWAII

2. Crosslet 4, 15 berries. Luster shimmers across this well struck
cent. The borders are peach-red, while the fields also display lilac
and powder-blue. Only one small spot is noted beneath the H in
HAWAII, and ticks are absent save for beneath the E in HANERI.
(#10966)
1395 1883 Hawaii Half Dollar MS62 PCGS. The medium golden-
russet and blue-green toning is more prominent on the obverse.
This well struck single-year type coin provides potent luster and has
a couple of moderate marks on the upper reverse. (#10991)
GSA DOLLARS
MS61 1879-CC Dollar in GSA Holder
1396 1879-CC MS61 NGC. While the obverse of this 1879-CC dollar
has numerous luster scrapes and moderate marks with minimal
patina, the reverse is comparatively clean with luster slightly
subdued by green-gold patina. This piece comes in the black GSA
holder of issue with government box and certificate. (#7086)
Black Holder 1879-CC GSA Dollar, MS62
1397 1879-CC MS62 NGC. Thickly frosted on the devices with flashy
fields that are silver beneath a light layer of pale gray patina.
Numerous small to moderate marks are present on Liberty’s portrait
as well as the nearby fields, accounting for the grade. Band-certified
in the black GSA holder with box and certificate. (#7086)
GSA 1879-CC Dollar, MS62
1398 1879-CC MS62 NGC. The popular and challenging 1879-CC

reverse. Well struck with scattered light abrasions over Liberty’s
portrait and several reed marks on the eagle. Comes with box and
certificate. (#7086)

toned with great cartwheel luster. This Premium Gem is band-
certified in the black GSA holder of issue.(#7152)

holder of issue with CAC green sticker on the band.
From The Classic Collection. (#7160)
1402 1890-CC MS61 NGC. Comes with government box and
certificate, and band-certified in the GSA holder of issue. Bright
silver luster with patches of tan. Several luster scrapes and abrasions
are noted on Liberty. (#7198)
1403 1890-CC MS61 NGC. Significant abrasions affect both obverse
and reverse, yet the strong silver luster of this Carson City coin
supplies it with generous eye appeal. Housed in the black GSA
holder, accompanied by official box and certificate. (#7198)
1404 1890-CC MS61 NGC. The well struck devices are lightly frosted
where not abraded. Band-certified in the black GSA holder and

abrasions for Select status. (#7198)

grayish toning at the margins of moderately abraded silver surfaces.
In the GSA holder with box and certificate of authenticity.
(#7198)

obverse shows a number of wispy abrasions but comparatively few
serious marks. Band-certified in the GSA holder and comes with
box.
From The Williams Collection. (#7198)
1408 1891-CC MS60 NGC. Clearly jostled around during its time in
storage, yet there is no trace of wear on the silver surfaces. The
reverse has a better appearance than the MS60 designation might
suggest. Comes in the black GSA holder of issue as well as the
government-issue outer box and certificate.(#7206)

1411 1891-CC MS61 NGC. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. A minimally

the reverse than the grade might suggest. Comes in the black GSA
holder with box and certificate of authenticity. (#7206)
1412 1891-CC MS61 NGC. A bright example of this later issue,
uncommon in GSA holders. Silver surfaces show a few spots of

holder with box and certificate.
From The Williams Collection. (#7206)

In the GSA holder, comes with box and certificate of authenticity.
(#7206)
ERRORS
1414 1903 Indian Cent—Struck 15% Off Center—MS65 Brown
NGC. Off center toward 5 o’clock, although enough of the date is
present to confirm it is 1903. Deeply toned navy-blue and apple-
green with lively luster and unabraded fields. A high grade mint
error of this popular design.
Pleasing PR66 Brown 1885 Cent, Broadstruck
1415 1885 Indian Cent—Broadstruck—PR66 Brown NGC.
Beautifully detailed chocolate-brown surfaces show elegant aqua
and sapphire-violet overtones. Preservation is excellent. Most
distinctive about this piece is that it is an error, struck out-of-
collar with the dentils substantially elongated from the norm and a
crescent of unstruck surface area at the upper obverse.
Dramatic Off-Center and Brockage
1920 Cent, VG10
1416 1920 Lincoln Cent—40% Off-Center and Brockage Reverse—
VG10 PCGS. Instead of being ejected after its strike, a 1920
cent (not the present piece) clung to the reverse die. It likely also
blocked the collar die. A new planchet (the present piece) was then
fed off-center (at 2 o’clock) between the dies, and was struck by the
obverse die and the obverse of the previously struck cent. The
reverse of this lot would be a perfect brockage, except it is widely off
center, and was presumably carried as a pocket piece by its fortunate
finder. An attractive medium brown off center brockage with a few
minor specks of verdigris.
1417 1973-D Lincoln Cent—Obverse Die Break—MS63 Brown
NGC. A catastrophic die failure has made the back of Lincoln’s
portrait and all design elements to the left a shapeless mass. The
reverse is also affected, with a void where the design should have
been.
1996 Lincoln Struck on 1995-P Dime, MS65
Double Date and Double Denomination Rarity
1418 1996 Lincoln Cent—Struck on a 1995-P Dime—MS64 PCGS.
The entire date from the 1995-P dime is clearly visible, and the
96 of the date from the Lincoln cent is also clearly visible. This
Choice Mint State piece has its full nickel-gray brilliance. Both
sides are dramatic, with Lincoln visible on top of LDR, and the
leaves from the dime reverse visible above and below the Lincoln
memorial.
1419 1996 Lincoln Cent—Double Denomination on a 1996-P Dime—
MS64 NGC. A lustrous silver-white example of this popular mint
error category. The 96 in the cent date is evident, as is the dime
mintmark and much of the dime date, located near 9 o’clock on
the reverse. Roosevelt gazes northeast relative to the Lincoln
Memorial.
1420 2000 Lincoln Cent—Double Denomination on a 2000-P Dime—
MS67 NGC. The dime date is legible although faint near Lincoln’s
shoulder. The Philadelphia mintmark is clear on Lincoln’s vest.
The portrait of Roosevelt gazes northwest relative to Lincoln.
Lustrous and well preserved with little indication of toning.
1421 Undated Lincoln Memorial Cent—Triple Struck, All Strikes
Off-Center—MS64 Red and Brown NGC. This piece was first
struck off-center toward 3 o’clock on the obverse, with two more
strikes farther to the right. Lightly spotted surfaces show a range
of colors, from reddish-orange to pale olive and blue, rose, and
violet.
1422 Undated Lincoln Memorial Cent—Broadstruck with Obverse
Indent—MS66 Red and Brown NGC. Bright copper and deeper
reddish-violet hues dominate this lustrous error. Rather than a rim,
this piece has broad unstruck areas surrounding the design. An
indent that affects the obverse is perfectly placed to obscure the
date area.
1423 1852 Three Cent Silver—Mirror Brockage on Reverse—VF20
NGC. The reverse of this coin is a full brockage, with incused
and reversed legends and devices. This error was caused when a
coin (not this one) clung to the reverse die after it was struck. The
present piece was then fed between that coin and the obverse die.
It has since toned silver-gray, and is unmarked from its 19th century
stint in circulation.
Full Brockage Reverse VF20
1852 Three Cent Silver
Session Two, Auction #1140 | June 4, 2010 | 1:00 PM PT 219
1919 Nickel on a Cent Planchet
MS61 Brown
1424 1919 Buffalo Nickel—Struck on a Cent Planchet—MS61 Brown
NGC. 3.06 gm. The date is fully visible and so is the mintmark
space, although this Philadelphia Mint product lacks a mintmark.
The surfaces are yellowish-brown with a few tiny carbon flecks on
each side. An intriguing wrong-denomination error in one of the
nation’s most popular denominations and designs.
1425 2000-D Jefferson Nickel—Double Denomination on a 2000-
D Cent—MS66 Red NGC. The cent date and mintmark are
readily evident near the M in MONTICELLO. The nickel date and
mintmark are complete and clear. A lustrous orange-red Premium
Gem with no marks or spots.
Dramatic Obverse Die Cap
2007-D Satin Finish Dime, MS68
1426 2007-D SMS Roosevelt Dime—Obverse Die Cap—MS68 NGC.
A dramatic obverse die cap of recent vintage, rendered unusual by
the distinctly satiny texture of the fields surrounding Roosevelt.
Razor-sharp detail with a prominent split close to 9 o’clock as
reckoned by the obverse, while the reverse is flattened out into
near-unrecognizability.
Denver Mint Washington Quarter
Struck on a Cent Planchet, MS64
1427 Undated D-Mint Washington Quarter—Struck on a Cent
Planchet—MS64 PCGS. The obverse mintmark and the types
indicate this coin was struck between 1968 and 1998. PCGS does
not provide a color designation, but perhaps Red and Brown is
correct, although the pumpkin-gold surfaces have mellowed in
lilac shades. Some reeding is present along the right edge, and the
centering favors the portrait with the date fully absent. Struck from
worn dies that provide an orange peel texture.
1428 1951 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—MS63
Full Bell Lines NGC. 6.3 gm. The wrong planchet half dollar is
uncentered toward 12 o’clock, with all of LIBERTY and nearly
all of the denomination off the flan. A thin strike-through near 3
o’clock on the obverse provides a secondary mint error. Lustrous
and unabraded with a blush of lavender, golden-brown, and navy-
blue toning on the lower reverse margin.
1429 1952 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—AU58
NGC. 6.2 gm. This wrong planchet error is uncentered toward
7:30. All of UNITED STATES OF and IN GOD WE are off the
flan, while the right borders have partial rims and reeding. Just
enough of the mintmark area is present to confirm that the coin
was made in Philadelphia.
1430 1952-D Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—AU58
NGC. 6.2 gm. A whisper of friction on the cheekbone and PASS
AND STOW confirms momentary circulation, but the satin luster
is comprehensive, and there are no evident abrasions. This Franklin
half was struck on a planchet intended for a Washington quarter,
which results in incomplete peripheral legends that stretch toward
the rim.
1431 1954 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—AU58
NGC. 6.4 gm, slightly heavier than the typical 6.25 gm silver
quarter dollar planchet. Mint luster dominates this nearly friction-
free Franklin half. The surfaces are unabraded and display only faint
almond-gold toning. Uncentered toward 5 o’clock, with much of
TRUST and AMERICA off the flan.
1432 1956 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—MS63
NGC. 6.2 gm. This lustrous half dollar wrong planchet error has
faint golden toning. It is uncentered toward 10 o’clock, with all of
UNITED, LIBERTY, and IN off the flan. The fields display light
raised die lines, from an attempt to remove clashmarks which are
nonetheless evident through E PLURIBUS UNUM.
1433 1957 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Blank—MS64 NGC.
6.2 gm. The portrait of Franklin and the Liberty Bell are intact,
while the legends near the borders are only partly present. This
brilliant near-Gem has a full date and is without any noticeable
marks.
1434 1958 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—MS64
NGC. 6.2 gm. Type One Reverse. Light gold toning visits this
smooth and lustrous mint error. TRUST and other peripheral
legends are spread toward the rim. Uncentered toward 12 o’clock
with LIBERTY and HALF DOLLAR off the flan, characteristic of
this wrong planchet combination.
1435 1958-D Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Blank—MS62
NGC. 6.3 gm. Despite the undersized flan, the strike is sharp
at the centers. The borders are uneven and show characteristic
spreading. Uncentered toward 12 o’clock with all of LIBERTY and
most of HALF DOLLAR off the flan. Satiny, smooth, and lightly
toned.
1436 1958-D Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—MS64
Full Bell Lines NGC. 6.25 gm. The centering (toward 2:30) favors
the portrait of Franklin, which is virtually intact, as is the eagle,
Liberty Bell, and mintmark. All but a small portion of the date is
present. Lustrous and lightly toned olive-gray. It may be possible to
accumulate a date and mint collection of Franklin half dollars on
quarter planchets, and the present auction provides a remarkable
opportunity for a head start on such an ambitious project.
220 To view full descriptions, enlargeable images and bid online, visit HA.com/1140
1437 1959 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Blank—AU58 NGC.
6.2 gm. Type One Reverse. Light steeLgray and caramel-gold toning
graces the satiny and unmarked surfaces. PASS AND STOW
and other highpoints display only a whisper of wear. Moderately
uncentered toward 1 o’clock with about half of UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA present.
1438 1960 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—MS64
NGC. 6.25 gm. Light honey-gold toning graces the reverse border
of this semi-prooflike wrong planchet mint error. The upper obverse
and lower reverse legends are mostly absent due to the undersized
flan. The right obverse field displays moderate but inconspicuous
abrasions.
1439 1960-D Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—MS63
Full Bell Lines NGC. 6.3 gm. Evidence of a raised rim is especially
strong near the ST in STATES. This highly lustrous and virtually
brilliant wrong planchet error is minimally abraded and has a full
date. Uncentered toward 1:30 with LIBERTY and most of the
denomination absent.
1440 1961 Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Blank—MS62 NGC.
6.2 gm. Satiny and brilliant with clean surfaces aside from a minor
vertical mark on the bell. The centering is off toward 10 o’clock,
with all of LIBERTY and most of HALF DOLLAR missing. The
fields are striated due to polished dies, as made.
1441 1961-D Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Blank—MS62
NGC. 6.3 gm. The present auction provides an unusual opportunity
to obtain many different Franklin half dollar dates struck on quarter
dollar blanks or planchets. The date and mintmark are complete,
while LIBERTY and most of the denomination are off the flan.
Untoned and luster with minor marks on the jaw.
1442 1962-D Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Planchet—MS64
NGC. 6.3 gm. An essentially brilliant representative of this scarce
wrong planchet type, of which the consignor has accumulated a
surprising number of issues within the series. A lustrous near-Gem
with smooth fields and minute contact on the bell.
1443 1963-D Franklin Half—Struck on a Quarter Blank—MS63
NGC. 6.2 gm. This wrong planchet half dollar has an additional
mint error: an interesting pair of slender strike-throughs that
overlap above the Liberty bell. A final year Franklin half with light
gold toning, clean surfaces, and unencumbered luster.
Susan B. Anthony Dollar, MS64 NGC
Broadstruck on Scrap
1444 Undated Susan B. Anthony Dollar—Broadstruck on a Scrap
Planchet—MS64 NGC. 2.6 grams. Despite minor spots and
discoloration, this is a delightful example, and the strike is well
centered on the scrap, with nearly all of Anthony’s head visible on
the obverse and the entire eagle on the reverse.
Multiple Struck 2000-P Sacagawea
Third and Fourth Strikes 50% Off Center
1445 2000-P Sacagawea Dollar—Struck Four Times, 3rd and 4th
Strike 50% Off Center—MS64 PCGS. The first strike was
normal, but the piece failed to eject, and instead rotated a few
degrees clockwise before its second strike. The coin was then only
partially ejected, and was struck a third time, widely off center
toward 8 o’clock, and at 8 o’clock relative to the first two strikes.
The fourth and final strike was in a similar position but shifted
slightly southward. Four dates and mintmarks are visible, although
the date from the third strike is faint. Lustrous and cup-shaped with
attractive orange, rose, and ice-blue toning.
1446 1910 Indian Eagle—Obverse Struck Through—NGC. NGC
does not provide a grade for this unusual Indian ten, although we
suggest AU55 given the slight friction on the left edge of the wing,
and on Liberty’s forehead beneath the B in LIBERTY. The reverse
provides essentially complete luster. Obverse luster is plentiful but
diminished on the open field and portrait highpoints. The obverse
die was presumably covered with a layer of grease at the time of the
strike, causing a mushy strike on the date and obverse center.
WASHINGTONIA
Baker-47B Original Washington Before Boston
Medal in Bronze, Unc Details
1447 (1790) Washington Before Boston Medal in Bronze—Improperly
Cleaned—NGC Details. Unc. Baker-47B. This largest of the
Comitia Americana medals has been restruck numerous times in its
history, but this example is one of the bronze originals. Diagnostics
from Rulau-Fuld, M edallic Portraits of Washington: “On all originals,
the O in PRIMO is perfectly round ... There are periods after
XVII. and MDCCLXXVI. The last I of MARTII is under the R of
RECUPERATUM.” Scattered light abrasions and hairlines from a
past cleaning do little to dull this medal’s inherent majesty.

221
SO-CALLED DOLLARS
1448 1826 Erie Canal Completion—Environmental Damage—NGC
Details. AU. HK-1. White metal, 45 mm. The Erie Canal
Completion medal marks the opening of the famous artificial
waterway that served 19th century commerce for many decades.
This white metal piece has considerable light gray luster with ebony
patina. Some brownish discoloration is evident on the reverse.
1449 1896 Bryan Dollar AU58 NGC. HK-779. A silversmith Bryan
dollar made by Tiffany & Co., as noted on the reverse. The obverse
bears the inscription, “823 / Grains of Silver / 900/1000 Fine / The
Equivalent of / One Gold Dollar / in Value / Sept 14 1896.” Lightly
worn with deep violet-gray and gold-gray surfaces.
GOLD CHARMS

gold charm bearing a left-facing portrait of Washington on the
obverse. The reverse has CALIFORNIA GOLD / CHARM around

1452 Five Early 1950s Proof Sets. Contains two 1950 sets and one

plastic wraps as issued. Each of the sets are attractive and brilliant,
with some slight spotting on a few coins in the 1950 set. Slight
cameo contrast is evident on a few coins, although no coins have
sufficient contrast for a Cameo designation. This is a desirable
grouping of original sets, seldom seen in today’s marketplace. (Total:
20 coins)

PATTERNS
1838 Half Dollar Pattern, PR64
Judd-72, Probable Restrike
1457 1838 Half Dollar, Judd-72, Pollock-75, R.5, PR64 PCGS.
CAC. 192.13 grains. Believed to have been designed by William
Kneass but probably executed by Christian Gobrecht. This half
dollar design features a draped bust of Liberty facing left with
stars on the left and right, date below. The reverse shows a stately
drop-wing eagle without shield. Struck in silver with a reeded
edge. Originals and restrikes are known of this pattern. The lighter
weight pieces, such as this one, are restrikes and are believed to
have been produced after 1853. The fields are nicely reflective
and each side displays moderate gray-rose toning with minimal
hairlines. (#11282)
1838 Restrike Half Dollar in Silver
Judd-73 Restrike, PR64
1458 1838 Half Dollar, Judd-73 Restrike, Pollock-77, R.5, PR64
PCGS. On the obverse a bust of Liberty faces left with seven
stars to the left and six to the right. Liberty wears a diadem and
a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY. The date is below the bust. On the
reverse an eagle flies in a plain field with the statutory legend
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around, and the denomination
HALF DOLLAR below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. The
reverse shows the usual pie-shaped die cracks, an indication this is
a restrike from later decades (1850s through 1870s). Both obverse
and reverse have a significant presence of gunmetal gray toning,
but when angled properly the depth of mirrors is evident. (#11288)
Annular 1852 Copper-Nickel Pattern for the
Gold Dollar
Judd-140, PR65
1459 1852 Gold Dollar, Judd-140, Pollock-167, Low R.7, PR65
PCGS. CAC. The simple obverse design consists of the legend
USA above and 1852 below. The reverse features a circle of olive
sprigs. Struck on an annular copper-nickel planchet with a plain
edge. The annular pattern was one of the proposed solutions to
the problem of the undersized and easily lost gold dollar. The
large center perforation (as struck) and narrow margin forces a
simple design. Curiously, no denomination is stated. Medium
golden-brown color enriches the unperturbed, well-struck surfaces.

1854 Cent Pattern, Reduced From a Seated Dollar
Judd-15 7 in German Silver, PR64
1460 1854 One Cent, Judd-157, Pollock-185, High R.7, PR64 PCGS.
51.08 grains. 61% copper, 26% nickel. 12% zinc. The obverse is
derived from a Seated dollar obverse die, but crudely reduced by a
circular lathe to the diameter of a contemporary half cent. The 4
in the date resembles a 1 because of the blurry reduction. On the
reverse, 1 CENT is encircled by an oak and acorn wreath. Struck
with a reeded edge in a German silver alloy with the combination
stated above (and printed on the insert). Several compositions are
known of this pattern, and only a few examples have been subjected
to metallurgical analysis. The surfaces are remarkably bright and
silver-like with a slight presence of hazy gray patina. Each side is
relatively problem-free, which is significant when one considers the
crude method used to produce these pieces. (#11650)
Smaller Diameter 1854 Large Cent Pattern
Judd-161 Original, PR58
1461 1854 One Cent, Judd-161 Original, Pollock-187, R.4, PR58
PCGS. 94.90 grains. The design is similar to that on production
large cents except there are no stars on the obverse, and the diameter
is smaller. Struck in copper with a plain edge. The chocolate-brown
surfaces show only slight reflectivity in the fields. The devices are
slightly brighter from apparent handling or having been carried as a
pocket piece. (#11663)
Popular 1855 Flying Eagle Cent Pattern
Judd-168 Original, PR60 Details
1462 1855 Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168 Original, Pollock-193, R.4—
Recolored—ANACS. PR60 Details. Thirteen stars surround
an eagle that is flying slightly upward, similar to the Christian
Gobrecht/Titian Peale flying eagle design for the Gobrecht dollars
(and soon the Flying Eagle cents). The reverse design is similar to
the issued large cent. The diameter is intermediate between the
large cents struck for commerce in 1855 and the small cents that
were first produced in 1856. Struck in bronze with a plain edge.
Each side shows slight evidence of die clashing around the central
devices. While recolored, the surfaces are attractive with reddish-
yellow and brown colors intermingled over each side. Minimal
marks are evident. (#11720)
1463 1855 Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-168 Original, Pollock-193, R.4,
PR61 Brown PCGS. Thirteen stars surround an eagle that is
flying slightly upward, similar to the Christian Gobrecht/Titian
Peale flying eagle design for the Gobrecht dollars (and soon the
Flying Eagle cents). The reverse design is similar to the issued
large cent. The diameter falls between large cents and the adopted
small cents. Struck in bronze with a plain edge. A blue-accented
brown example with a few carbon spots noted at the stars and date.
Though hairlined in the fields, the coin is fundamentally pleasing.
Housed in a green label holder. (#11720)

Bright Red and Brown 1855 Flying Eagle Cent Pattern
Judd-173, PR64
1464 1855 Flying Eagle Cent, Judd-173, Pollock-198, Low R.7, PR64
Red and Brown PCGS. Flying Eagle Cent pattern in large format,
featuring a hooked neck eagle on the obverse and ONE CENT in
the center of the reverse surrounded by a laurel wreath with two
leaves below the E in STATES. Struck in copper with a plain edge.
Generally this pattern is not found with red color, and this coin has
about as much as can be found. The surfaces are bright and there is
much yellow in the centers with splashes of red and brown mostly
around the margins. The surfaces are pleasing for the grade with no
mentionable defects. (#11749)
Popular Transitional 1859 Indian Cent Pattern
Judd-228, MS65
1465 1859 Indian Cent, Judd-228, Pollock-272, R.1, MS65 NGC.
CAC. The famous transitional cent with the design as adopted in
1860, but here dated 1859. These pieces were struck in both proof
and business strike format. The 1859 patterns of this design have
the oak wreath with shield design on the reverse, with the regular
Indian cent obverse. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge.
USPatterns.com states: “Metallurgical analysis is recommended as
color inspection which is often used is unreliable.” However, there
is no mistaking the composition of this piece. Each side is bright
and the colors are pale blue and rose, not colors normally seen on
copper coins. The reverse fields certainly seem deep enough for
designation as a proof, but the obverse does show some cartwheel
luster. (#10362)
Transitional 1863 Indian Cent Pattern
Judd-299, MS63 Brown
1466 1863 One Cent, Judd-299, Pollock-359, Snow-PTl, R.3,
MS63 Brown PCGS. CAC. A transitional variety; similar to
the 1864 No L bronze cent but dated 1863, when all regular issue
cents were copper-nickel. Struck in bronze with a plain edge.
Medallic alignment of the dies. While deeply toned overall, there
is significant cherry-red and emerald-green color on each side with
flashy mirrors in the fields. (#60453)
Always-Popular 1865 With Motto Quarter
Judd-425, PR64
1467 1865 Quarter Dollar, Judd-425, Pollock-497, High R.6, PR64
PCGS. Both sides are the regular With Motto designs, with the
motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll above the eagle, as adopted
in 1866. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is one of the
various “pattern” issues of this design that includes quarter dollars,
half dollars, and dollars, and are actually restrikes intended for
collectors and coined in the late 1860s or early 1870s. Just over a
dozen examples of this variety are known. The surfaces are deeply
mirrored with a few minor contact marks scattered in the fields.
Each side shows light gray-rose toning. (#60610)
Iridescently Toned 1865 With Motto Quarter
Judd-426, PR66 Brown
1468 1865 Quarter Dollar, Judd-426, Pollock-498, Low R.7, PR66
Brown NGC. Similar to the adopted design of 1866, the motto IN
GOD WE TRUST has been placed on a scroll in the reverse field
above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Chocolate-
brown toning transforms to electric-blue and violet-red when this
wonderfully preserved example is rotated beneath a light. A vibrant
Gem worthy of a close look and a strong bid. (#60611)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 225
Exceptional 1865 With Motto Half Dollar
Judd-430, PR67 Brown Cameo
Finest Certified
1469 1865 Half Dollar, Judd-430, Pollock-503, High R.6, PR67
Brown Cameo NGC. Regular die trials issue. Struck in copper
with a reeded edge. This is the so-called “transitional” half dollar
that uses the reverse of 1866-1891. These and the other With
Motto patterns of this date and also 1863 and 1864 are actually
restrikes made circa 1869 and into the early 1870s, and were offered
along with restrikes of other denominations in complete sets.
According to Saul Teichman and the USPatterns.com website, the
first definite sales occurrence for an 1865 With Motto set was in the
October 1870 Mason & Company sale of the Fewsmith Collection.
A possible earlier listing may be Cogan’s September 1869 sale. This
is an absolutely stunning example of this die trial. The fields are
deeply mirrored on each side and rich turquoise toning covers both
obverse and reverse with a brownish-purple coloration apparent
in the fields at certain angles. DefectTree to the unaided eye, a
magnifier reveals a few randomly placed die polishing marks in the
fields, as one might expect from a proof striking. This is the finest
Judd-430 certified not only as a Brown Cameo, but in any color on
a copper variant of this pattern. (#60615)
1865 No Motto Half in Copper, PR65 Brown
Judd-432, A So-Called Die Trials Piece
1470 1865 Half Dollar, Judd-432, Pollock-505, Low R.7, PR65
Brown NGC. Both obverse and reverse dies were used for regular-
issue coinage in 1865. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. As we
stated in the catalog for the Lemus patterns (1/2009): Traditionally,
Judd-432 has been listed as a die trials issue, but there was no intent
to change the design or metal composition of the Seated Liberty
half; the only planned change was the introduction of the motto, as
occurred in 1866, and in any case it is missing here. Like many off-
metal strikings, it is possible that this issue was actually produced by
Mint employees for sale to collectors. USPatterns.com estimates a
population of a half-dozen survivors.
This is a lovely piece with muted brown, blue, and scarlet
color. The fields show the usual die striations, and there are no
mentionable contact marks on this Gem. (#60617)
Nickel Dies Trial Striking of the 1868 Half Dime
Judd-638, PR65
1471 1868 Half Dime, Judd-638, Pollock-710, Low R.6, PR65 NGC.
Regular dies trial striking of the 1868 half dime, but struck in nickel
alloy with a plain edge. At first glance this looks like a silver half
dime. But close examination shows heavy die striations in the
fields, as often seen on patterns. Also, there is just a bit of high
point softness on the obverse. The surfaces are brilliant throughout
and there is an unmistakable but unacknowledged contrast between
the depth of mirroring in the fields and the thick mint frost over
the devices. Slight evidence of die clashing and a few tiny specks of
carbon are seen on each side. (#60856)

Aluminum 1868 Gold Dollar Dies Trial
Judd-653, PR65, Ex: Pittman
1472 1868 Gold Dollar, Judd-653, Pollock-726, Low R.7, PR65 NGC.
Ex: Pittman. The regular dies trial piece for the gold dollar. Struck in
aluminum with a reeded edge. According to the USPatterns website:
“These were deliberately struck to show how easily aluminum
coined ...” Only a half-dozen pieces are believed known today and
this is the first we have a record of offering at public auction. The
surfaces are unspotted, and the brilliance is only tempered by slight
hazy streakiness over both sides. A splendid example of this rarity.
Ex: Private purchase from Empire Coin Co. (8/9/1961) for $125;
Lenox Lohr (10/1956). (#60871)
Brilliant 1869 Standard Silver Dime in Silver
Judd-696, PR64 Cameo
1473 1869 Standard Silver Ten Cents, Judd-696, Pollock-775, R.5,
PR64 Cameo NGC. Liberty is adorned with three large stars, and
the motto is displayed in a banner beneath the bust. The reverse
has 10 CENTS in the center, surrounded by a thick wreath of oak
and laurel. STANDARD SILVER is across the upper reverse border,
and the date fills the exergue. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
This fairly common dime pattern is well preserved with brilliant
surfaces throughout and deeply mirrored fields. Close examination
reveals a few wispy hairlines. (#60921)
Terrific 1870 Standard Silver Dime in Copper
Judd-828, PR65 Brown
1474 1870 Standard Silver Ten Cents, Judd-828, Pollock-918,
High R.6, PR65 Brown NGC. Attributed to William Barber,
the obverse depicts a seated figure of Liberty facing left and
supporting a shield in her right hand, an olive branch in her left.
A free-standing liberty pole is present behind the shield. On the
reverse 10 CENTS is within a wreath of cotton and corn, with
the inscription STANDARD above. Struck in copper with a
plain edge. The USPatterns.com website states that about a dozen
examples are known of this pattern, but we estimate that fewer
pieces may actually exist. The copper composition of this piece is
not immediately apparent as both sides have taken on a deep blue
patina. It is only on the reverse that a few traces of original red can
still be seen. The fields are deeply mirrored, the devices are fully
brought up throughout, and there are no mentionable contact
marks. (#61072)
Finest Certified 1870 Copper Quarter Pattern
Judd-884, PR66 Red and Brown
1475 1870 Quarter Dollar, Judd-884, Pollock-982, R.7, PR66 Red
and Brown NGC. Liberty is seated facing left, supporting a shield
with her right hand. Her left hand holds an olive branch. The
obverse border has 13 stars, and the date is in the exergue. A free¬
standing Liberty pole is in the background. The reverse is from a
regular-issue Liberty Seated quarter dollar die. Struck in copper
with a reeded edge. About a dozen pieces are known of this William
Barber pattern. The surfaces are impressive with deep blue fields
on the obverse that are red elsewhere, and on the reverse red, blue,
and yellow-golden toning is several shades deeper than the obverse.
This is the finest certified of this scarce pattern. (#71128)

Impressive and Rare William Barber 1870
Seated Half Pattern, Judd-933, PR65
1476 1870 Half Dollar, Judd-933, Pollock-1039, Low R.7, PR65
NGC. William Barber’s Seated Liberty design, interesting for its
placement of the shield behind her legs which is supported with
her right hand. She holds an olive branch in her left. A liberty
pole is behind the shield and a scroll crosses the shield and is
inscribed LIBERTY in incused letters. The reverse is the type used
for regular issue Seated halves. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
Iridescent peach, electric-blue, and orange-rose colors are seen
over this flashy Gem. A needle-sharp, gorgeous, and undisturbed
representative that will make an outstanding contribution to the
advanced collection of a pattern specialist. (#61179)
1870 William Barber Half Dollar Pattern
Judd-934, PR65
1477 1870 Half Dollar, Judd-934, Pollock-1040, Low R.7, PR65
NGC. William Barber’s seated figure of Liberty faces left on the
obverse. Thirteen stars surround Liberty with the date below.
Liberty supports a shield with her right hand, and holds an olive
branch in her left hand. A liberty pole is behind the shield, a scroll
crosses the shield and is inscribed LIBERTY in raised letters. The
reverse is the type used for regular issue Seated halves. Struck in
silver with a plain edge. This is one of the finest of the dozen or so
believed known today. The reverse has magnificent electric-blue,
ruby-red, and gold colors, while the obverse features radiant orange
and aqua-gray patina. A splendidly struck and carefully preserved
Gem. (#61180)
R.8 Judd-970 1870 Standard Silver
Half Dollar, PR63 Cameo
One of Only Two Certified
1478 1870 Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-970, Pollock-1081, R.8,
PR63 Cameo NGC. Judd’s “Obverse 2 of 1869” with LIBERTY
in raised letters and no designer’s initial. The reverse is Standard
Silver with the word CENTS gently curving and two ornamental
stars flanking the date of 1870. Struck in silver with a plain edge.
One of just two examples certified by NGC (the other a PR64) for
this exceedingly rare issue, one which the most recent edition of
Judd (2009) has selling last at auction all the way back in 1984.
The present piece is flashy and distinctly contrasted through light
toning that has golden accents against pale silver-gray. Well-defined
and entirely appealing despite a handful of scattered hairlines.

1871 Seated Dime in Copper, PR64 Red and Brown
Judd-1085, Nearly Full Red Surfaces
1479 1871 Ten Cents, Judd-1085, Pollock-1221, R.7, PR64 Red
and Brown NGC. The Longacre-derived obverse features Liberty
seated wearing an Indian headdress with left hand resting on a
globe, right hand holding a pole with cap on top, and conjoined
flags behind. The reverse is from the regular issue Seated dime dies.
Struck in copper with a reeded edge. At least half a dozen examples
are known, most of which are PR64 or finer. This is a splendid,
deeply mirrored piece. We are having a hard time finding the
brown on either side, it appears full red to us. A few small carbon
spots are scattered over both obverse and reverse, but there are
virtually no contact marks. (#71344)
Bailly 1873 Trade Dollar Pattern in Silver
Judd-1281, PR62
1480 1873 Trade Dollar, Judd-1281, Pollock-1423, R.4, PR62 NGC.
The Bailly design, one of many in the series of 1873 Trade dollar
patterns. The bust of Liberty faces left on the obverse, and her hair
is coiled at the back of her head. The date 1873 is below; 13 stars
ring the rim. On the reverse an eagle holds his wing open, clutching
three arrows in one claw and supporting a shield with the other. A
ribbon inscribed IN GOD WE TRUST transverses the shield. 420
GRAINS, 900 FINE and TRADE DOLLAR are below; UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM—the latter in
minuscule font—are above. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.
This piece offers silver-gold surfaces with sprinkles of blue-
brown patina on the obverse and pretty pinkish-gold rim toning on
the reverse. There is little contrast, but the strike is strong and the
eye appeal is high, despite a few hairlines in the fields. (#61566)
1878 Pattern Morgan Dollar, PR63 Cameo
Judd-1550A, Raised Designer’s Initial
1481 1878 Morgan Dollar, Judd-1550A, Pollock-1725, Low R.6,
PR63 Cameo NGC. Both sides are similar to the adopted design,
but differ in several minor areas. The most obvious are the fan¬
shaped leaves on the lower reverse. On the obverse the wheat
ear points to the left of the R in PLURIBUS, the point of the
truncation of Liberty’s neck is nearer star 1, and the M for Morgan’s
initial is raised rather than incuse. Struck in silver with a reeded
edge. Probably only a half dozen of these pieces are known. There
were four obverse and either two or three reverse dies that produced
four varieties, all struck between December 1, 1877 and January
2, 1878. This is a brilliant example that displays deeply reflective
fields with starkly contrasting frosted devices. The surfaces are
lightly hairlined but present very well with no noticeable contact
marks. (#61911)
1879 ‘Washlady’ Quarter Pattern in Copper
Judd-1591, PR64 Brown
1482 1879 Washlady Quarter Dollar, Judd-1591, Pollock-1784, Low
R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. The Washlady design is attributed to
Charles Barber, with Liberty’s hair bound behind the head. The
obverse has UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border
with the date below the bust. The reverse has an eagle clutching
an olive branch and three arrows. The UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA legend and E PLURIBUS UNUM motto follow inside
the upper reverse border with the denomination expressed as
QUAR. DOLLAR below. Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
While ridiculed at the time of issue, the Washlady quarter
has become one of the most beloved and widely collected of all
patterns. The name apparently was given by David Proskey at
the F.W. Doughty auction in 1891. Apparently Proskey thought
Liberty’s hair was disheveled and resembled that of a washlady.
The fields show exceptional depth of reflectivity in spite of the
significant layers of blue, violet, and brown toning on each side.
The devices also have a noticeable amount of mint frost, and the
contrast between the fields and devices. The only “flaw” that we
see that could be used for pedigree purposes is a J-shaped lint mark
above the second A in AMERICA. (#61968)

Popular Transitional 1883 Shield Nickel
Judd-1710, PR67 Cameo
1483 1883 Liberty Head Five Cents, Judd-1710, Pollock-1914, R.5,
PR67 Cameo NGC. The obverse is similar to that used on regular
issue 1883 Liberty nickels, but the legend UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA has been substituted for 13 stars around the periphery.
The reverse is inscribed with 50 N. 50C. centered within a wreath
of corn and cotton. FIVE is above, CENTS is below. Struck in
nickel with a plain edge. The fields are deeply reflective with
sharply contrasting frosted devices, and each side. The surfaces are
mostly brilliant but when closely examined slight pastel iridescence
can also be seen over each side. Exceptional quality. (#62127)
GOLD DOLLARS
1484 1849 Open Wreath MS63 PCGS. Breen-6002. The star at 5
o’clock is widely repunched. Well-defined overall for this popular
single-year subtype, though the peripheries show minor striking
softness and die erosion. Satiny butter-yellow color dominates the
eye appeal of this Select piece.(#7502)
1488 1853 MS64 NGC. CAC. This needle-sharp near-Gem has khaki-
gold color and coruscating luster. Smooth save for a single graze
above the A in DOLLAR. Mintages of gold dollars peaked in 1853,
a time when the denomination was needed in circulation to replace
hoarded silver coinage.(#7521)
1489 1853 MS64 NGC. This sun-gold near-Gem is lustrous and lovely.
No marks are remotely consequential. Fully struck except for a
small strike-through on the obverse dentils near 4:30.(#7521)
Impressive MS64 1853-0 Gold Dollar
1490 1853-0 MS64 NGC. The 1853-0 is always of interest to type
collectors because it is the most obtainable Type One O-mint gold
dollar. This is an exceptionally attractive example. The striking
details are strong on each side, and the surfaces display a rich
overlay of reddish patina. The fields are bright with occasional
glints of reflectivity. Census: 47 in 64, 12 finer (4/10). (#7524)
1491 1854 Type One MS64 PCGS. A sharply struck example of this
final-year Type One gold dollar issue with swirling green-gold and
yellow luster. An impressive coin struck from a clashed reverse die.
PCGS has graded 42 finer pieces (4/10).(#7525)
1485 1851-C VF35 PCGS. Variety 3. This olive-gold Choice VF
Charlotte gold dollar has original color and an absence of obvious
marks. The hair above the ear displays expected wear, but the star
radials are generally crisp.
From The Classic Collection. (#7514)
Uncirculated 1851-C Gold Dollar
1486 1851-C MS61 NGC. Variety 3. The “high date” reverse with
1851 close to DOLLAR, scarcer than the usual Variety 1. The
strike is razor-sharp by Charlotte standards, and although the fields
display myriad faint grazes, there are no distracting abrasions. Luster
is especially prominent throughout the borders. (#7514)
1487 1853 MS64 PCGS Secure. CAC. This Type One gold dollar
has a yellow-gold obverse and a dusky apricot and rose reverse.
Lustrous and beautifully preserved with superior eye appeal for the
designated grade.(#7521)
Pleasing 1855 Type Two Gold Dollar, MS62
1492 1855 MS62 PCGS. Canary-yellow and sun-gold surfaces glimmer
with subtly reflective luster. While a measure of the design’s
characteristic striking softness is visible at the centers, the knot of
the bow and other elements of the wreath are surprisingly sharp.
Scattered wispy abrasions in the fields contribute to the grade.
(#7532)
1493 1855 MS62 PCGS. A lovely MS62 example of this popular
type issue, part of the short-lived Type Two series. Yellow-gold
centers are satiny, while the margins trend more gold-orange. Well
struck for the type, though the centers show a measure of the usual
softness. Clash marks contribute to the obscuring of the upper loop
of the 8 in the date. (#753 2)

1495 1855-0 AU50 NGC. This green-gold representative is only lightly
abraded and has never been dipped. Luster fills design recesses. The
sole New Orleans issue of the ephemeral Type Two design, which
was abandoned in 1856 for a smaller diameter rendition of the
three dollar piece.(#7535)
1497 1860-S AU58 PCGS. A smooth representative with the eye
appeal of a higher grade. Liberty has slight friction on her cheek
and the highpoints of the hair. A scant 13,000 pieces were struck,
and unlike later low mintage Philadelphia issues, few examples
were set aside. Population: 10 in 58, 24 finer (4/10).(#7557)
1499 1872 MS62 PCGS. Sharply struck and satiny with unmarked
straw-gold surfaces. A mere 3,500 business strikes were issued, and
a relatively small number of those were saved by Philadelphia-area
numismatists. Population: 6 in 62, 40 finer (5/10).(#7572)
Gem Type Two 1855 Gold Dollar
Delightful 1859-C Gold Dollar, AU58
1496 1859-C AU58 NGC. Variety 1. The only known die pair for
the 1859-C gold dollars. The Charlotte Mint was an inactive
participant in the gold dollar series compared to Dahlonega,
producing just eight different issues. Dahlonega minted 13 different
gold dollar issues, striking examples every year from 1849 to 1861.
This near-Mint representative has a typical mushy strike, but
retains frosty surfaces and nearly full mint luster. It is a delightful
representative. Census: 30 in 58, 28 finer (5/10). (#7552)
Gorgeous Gem 1870 Gold Dollar
1498 1870 MS65 NGC. With a mintage just over twice that of its
S-mint counterpart, the 1870 gold dollar is also significantly more
accessible, particularly in better Mint State grades, though Gems of
the P-mint issue are rare. This flashy MS65 coin is sharply struck
with bright yellow-gold surfaces. Minimally marked, though there
is a slight rim disturbance above the second T in STATES on the
obverse. Census: 7 in 65, 9 finer (5/10). (#7569)
Outstanding Open 3 1873 Gold Dollar, MS66
1500 1873 Open 3 MS66 PCGS. CAC. A boldly impressed example of
the Open 3 type, impressively lustrous with canary-yellow and sun-
gold hues on each side. In keeping with the Premium Gem grade,
there are only a few tiny disturbances visible in the fields, and
the eye appeal is spectacular. Population: 11 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).
(#7573)
Low Mintage AU58 1875 Gold Dollar
1501 1875 AU58 NGC. Except for the double eagle, 1875 was a year of
minuscule gold mintages at Philadelphia. Only 400 business strike
gold dollars were struck, along with 20 proofs. Most apparently went
into circulation, since NGC has certified a total of only 30 pieces
in all grades, which presumably includes many resubmissions. The
present near-Mint example has bold details, orange-gold toning,
and an absence of consequential marks. Census: 4 in 58, 15 finer
(4/10). (#7576)
1494 1855 MS65 NGC. Type Two gold dollars were only struck for
two years, in 1855 and part of 1854, aside from a small production
coined in 1856 at San Francisco because of the delay in shipping
dies from Philadelphia. The Type Two design is the scarcest gold
type of its era, and high grade examples are especially in demand.
The present Gem has smooth green-gold surfaces that display
prominent clash marks characteristic of the type. The strike is
precise save for the 8 in the date and the LL in DOLLAR, which
are opposite the high point of Liberty’s portrait. Census: 31 in 65,
15 finer (4/10). (#7532)

1502 1879 MS65 PCGS. A beautiful lemon-gold example with flashy
fields and an absence of abrasions. The BERT in LIBERTY is
only faintly present, due to a lapped die. The 1879 has a scant
production of 3,000 pieces, and Gems are scarce yet surprisingly
affordable. Encased in a green label holder. Population: 55 in 65, 40
finer (4/10).(#7580)
Radiant Superb Gem 1880 Gold Dollar
1503 1880 MS67 PCGS. CAC. Late-date high-grade gold dollars are
among the “little jewels” of U.S. numismatics. Despite their tiny
mintages—1,600 coins, in the case of the 1880 business strikes—
many nice examples were saved as collectors of the era foresaw the
series’ end a few years later. This Superb Gem boasts radiant luster
emanating from bright orange-gold surfaces that are well-struck
and essentially free from distractions. The fields display the usually
seen prooflikeness. PCGS has graded only 24 examples finer (4/10).
(#7581)
Low-Mintage MS68 1880 Gold Dollar
1504 1880 MS68 NGC. Peach-gold and olive-green alternate across the
immaculate and coruscating surfaces. This remarkable gold dollar
is fully struck with the sole exception of the C in AMERICA. As
the lofty grade demands, the eye appeal is formidable. Only 1,636
pieces were struck. Census: 22 in 68, 1 finer (4/10). (#7581)
Remarkable MS68 1882 Gold Dollar
1505 1882 MS68 NGC. CAC. Dazzling semiprooflike fields, a full
strike, pristine preservation, and lovely honey-gold color combine
to confirm the remarkable third party grade. As nice a 19th-century
gold type coin as can be affordably obtained. A meager 5,000 pieces
were minted. Census: 14 in 68, 0 finer (4/10). (#7583)
1506 1883 MS64 NGC. Sharply struck with rich yellow-gold luster,
swirling on the obverse and flashy on the reverse. An attractive
near-Gem representative of this favored later gold dollar issue.
(#7584)
1507 1883 MS66 NGC. This razor-sharp khaki-gold Premium Gem has
exquisite preservation and potent luster. The ERT in LIBERTY is
faint due to a lapped obverse die. Only 10,800 pieces were struck.
(#7584)
Flashy Gem 1884 Gold Dollar
1508 1884 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Rich yellow-gold color defines the
reflective luster of this carefully preserved beauty, part of a small-
mintage issue from the last decade of the gold dollar denomination.
Sharply struck devices are surrounded by mostly untroubled
fields that show only occasional tiny marks and planchet flaws.
Population: 26 in 65, 34 finer (4/10). (#7585)
1509 1884 MS64 Deep Prooflike NGC. An incredibly reflective
example of this late-date gold dollar issue. Pale yellow-gold fields
are profoundly mirrored and the strike is sharp. (#975 85)
Nearly Flawless 1888 Gold Dollar, MS67
1510 1888 MS67 NGC. This beautiful Superb Gem is flawless aside
from a nearly imperceptible green spot near the E in UNITED. The
strike shows pinpoint-sharpness, except for RT in LIBERTY, which
were weakened by a mint worker’s lapping of the obverse die. The
1888 is more available than suggested by its low mintage of 15,501
pieces, but third-party certification rapidly dwindles above the
MS66 level. Census: 56 in 67, 3 finer (4/10). (#7589)
Shining MS66 1889 Gold Dollar
1511 1889 MS66 NGC. CAC. A gorgeous gold dollar from the end
of the circulating series, sharply struck with frosted wheat-gold
luster. Both sides are delightfully smooth and free of individually
mentionable marks. A mintage of 29,000 pieces, combined with a
high savings rate, has made the 1889 a type collector favorite, and
this Premium Gem is sure to please. (#7590)

PROOF GOLD DOLLAR
Glittering PR65 Cameo 1881 Gold Dollar
1512 1881 PR65 Cameo NGC. The proof gold dollar mintage took a
sizable leap in 1881, to 87 pieces from the prior year’s 36 coins; in
addition, unlike previous increases, this one stuck as production
vaulted into the three and then four figures in the following years.
This is a wonderful Gem Cameo example of the 1881 proof gold
dollar, exactingly struck and impressively contrasted. Orange-gold
luster prevails in the outer mirrors, while the interior of the wreath
offers intriguing lavender-to-blue overtones. Modestly patinated
but highly impressive. Census: 4 in 65 Cameo, 1 finer (5/10).
(#87631)
LIBERTY QUARTER EAGLES
Lustrous Gold-Yellow 1840-C Quarter Eagle, AU58
1513 1840-C AU55 NGC. Variety 1. This golden-yellow piece retains
most of its original luster, but a couple of planchet voids in the
centers of each side appear to lend an ochre-colored cast to those
areas. This piece also shows a long indentation in the neck and one
from the chin to the rim between the first two stars. Census: 29 in
55, 41 finer (4/10). (#7718)
Smooth 1841-C Two and a Half, AU58
1514 1841-C AU58 NGC. Variety 1. Luster illuminates the portrait
and individual stars, in addition to the eagle and reverse
legends. Neither side has any relevant marks aside from a nearly
imperceptible pinscratch to the left of Liberty’s eye. The subdued
surfaces are nicely struck, since only the lower stars are blunt. Just
10,281 pieces were struck. Census: 28 in 58, 6 finer (4/10). (#7721)
1515 1842-0 AU53 NGC. Yellow-orange surfaces are modestly abraded
yet retain considerable luster. Lightly rubbed on the high points but
a well-detailed coin nonetheless. Census: 12 in 53, 48 finer (4/10).
(#7726)
Green-Gold 1843-C Large Date Quarter Eagle
AU58, Unquestionably Original Surfaces
1516 1843-C Large Date, Plain 4 AU58 NGC. Variety 1. While
the Small Date 1843-C is the key to the Charlotte quarter eagle
series, the Large Date is considered a type coin and is relatively
easy (compared to the Small Date) to obtain in AU and even
Uncirculated condition. This is an impressive near-Mint example
that retains much of the original green-gold color and significant
amounts of mint luster surrounding the devices. The only mark of
note on either side is to the right of the eagle’s head. The originality
of the surfaces of this coin makes it noteworthy for the Charlotte
specialist. (#7728)
1517 1849-D VF20 PCGS. Variety 11-M. The High Date variety,
more available than 12-M although both share a mintage of only
10,945 pieces. Luminous orange-gold with steel-gray toning in
protected areas. One thin mark above the hairbun. Encapsulated in
an old green label holder. (#7 754)
1518 1850-0 AU58 NGC. CAC. This typically struck green-gold
Borderline Uncirculated quarter eagle lacks consequential marks,
and luster glimmers from design elements. The mintage of 84,000
pieces is low, given that Philadelphia struck more than 1.3 million
gold dollars the subsequent year. Census: 66 in 58, 11 finer (4/10).
(#7758)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT
233
1519 1852-C AU58 NGC. Variety 1 . The only variety for the year.
Because no quarter eagles were minted at the Charlotte Mint in
1853, the small mintage of 9,772 coins from 1852 had to meet the
needs of the regional economy for both years. As a result, the 1852-
C quarter eagle is usually found in well-circulated condition. Doug
Winter estimates the surviving population at 115-165 examples,
with 23-32 specimens in AU grades. On the present coin, the
strike is well executed on the peripheries, with some softness on
the central devices. The surfaces are an attractive green-gold color,
with minimal abrasions. Census: 22 in 58, 12 finer (5/10). (#7764)
Proof like 1853-D Two and a Half, AU58
A Lower-End Condition Census Piece
1520 1853-D AU58 NGC. Variety 16-M. The 1853-D two and a
half is a scarce D-mint issue with an estimated 85-95 pieces in
all grades. Probably only a third of the survivors exist in AU or
mint condition. This is one of the few pieces known with bright,
prooflike fields. The slight friction from brief circulation has not
dulled the intensity of the flash seen on each side. A few small field
marks are scattered about, and the surfaces display rich reddish-gold
color. The central devices are softly defined in the usual areas, but
the margins are sharp. At the AU58 level this piece is tied with
several others at the lower range of the Condition Census. Census:
6 in 58, 7 finer (4/10). (#7768)
1521 1855—Cleaned—ANACS. AU58 Details. Well-defined with
scant evidence of wear. Lightly abraded surfaces are over-bright
with pale yellow color. Scattered hairlines point to a past cleaning.
(#7774)
1522 1857-0 AU58 NGC. An uncommonly bright example of this
later O-mint quarter eagle issue, pale canary-yellow with glimmers
of reflectivity in the fields. The devices are better-defined than
usually seen on the obverse, though the eagle displays more typical
softness. NGC has certified just 49 pieces across all Mint State
grades (4/10). (#7784)
1523 1860 New Reverse, Type Two MS61 NGC. The slender
arrowheads do not touch, diagnostic for the Type Two subtype.
Any 1860 quarter eagle is scarce, however, since both subtypes
combined have a mintage of just 22,675 pieces. This example is
boldly struck and only lightly abraded. Luster fills the borders and
devices. Census: 24 in 61, 13 finer (4/10).
Ex: Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 2487, which realized
$1,495.(#7791)
1524 1860-S AU55 NGC. CAC. Luster fills the margins of this smooth
sun-gold representative. Since double eagles were needed for large
transactions and bank reserves in the hard money California
economy, other gold denominations had meager mintages. Only
35,600 quarter eagles were struck. Census: 17 in 55, 42 finer (4/10).
(#7793)
1525 1862 AU50 NGC. A lightly circulated example of this Civil War
issue with dusky yellow-gold surfaces that show mild abrasions.
Light, even wear crosses the central devices. (#7 796)
1526 1862 AU55 NGC. Soft luster flickers across dusky violet-
gold surfaces. A well struck Choice AU coin with light wear
concentrated on the high points, part of a Civil War issue with a
five-figure mintage.(#7796)
1527 1862 AU58 PCGS. Lightly abraded across the obverse but with
nearly intact luster. This elusive Civil War date is seldom found so
fine as this yellow-gold near-Mint survivor. Population: 11 in 58, 25
finer (4/10).(#7796)
1528 1862/1—Polished—ANACS. AU Details, Net XF40. FS-301.
The 1862/1 is rare. PCGS has certified just 23 pieces in all grades.
By comparison, that service has graded nearly three times as many
CAL 1848 quarter eagles. The present 1862/1 example is unduly
bright from polishing, but it is well detailed, and the overdate is
clear upon examination beneath a loupe.(#7797)

1530 1866-S—Cleaned—ANACS. Unc Details, Net AU58. Well-
defined with no trace of wear. Both sides show disturbed yellow-
gold luster from a past cleaning, as well as a number of hairlines on
fields and devices alike. (#7 804)
1532 1873 Closed 3 MS63 PCGS. A meager mintage of 55,200 pieces
ensures the scarcity of the 1873 Close 3. The present yellow-gold
representative is fully struck and has good luster. No marks are
individually consequential. Population: 58 in 63, 56 finer (5/10).
(#7818)
1534 1882 MS62 NGC. CAC. Solidly struck with considerable flash to
the minorly abraded yellow-gold fields. One of just 4,000 business
strike quarter eagles produced in this Philadelphia-only year.
Census: 16 in 62, 29 finer (4/10).(#7834)
1536 1888 MS64 NGC. Swirling luster with a suggestion of reflectivity
in the obverse fields. This near-Gem is well-defined overall with
only slight softness at the hair over Liberty’s ear. Great eye appeal.
Census: 63 in 64, 21 finer (4/10).(#7840)
1862-S Quarter Eagle, AU53
An Overlooked Rarity in the Series
1529 1862-S AU53 PCGS. Struck to the extent of only 8,000 pieces,
the 1862-S quarter eagle is rare in any grade and exceptionally so
in Mint State. This AU coin is one of five so certified at PCGS,
which has graded 13 finer (4/10)—but only three Mint State pieces
are among them, two in MS61 and the spectacular MS62 PCGS
coin from the Harry W. Bass Jr. Collection. The present coin,
while obviously not in that class, offers much to boast about: deep
reddish-gold patina, a decent if incomplete strike, and minimal
marks on either side. A rare opportunity for specialists in early
S-mint gold. (#7798)
Borderline Uncirculated 1872 Two and a Half
1531 1872 AU58 NGC. Luster brightens the borders of this peach-
gold Borderline Uncirculated rare date quarter eagle. The strike
is precise, and although faint marks are distributed, none are of
singular interest. Only 3,000 pieces were coined, and few appear to
have been saved. Census: 23 in 58, 12 finer (4/10). (#7815)
Low-Mintage 1873-S Two and a Half, MS61
1533 1873-S MS61 NGC. This low-mintage postbellum S-mint issue
was produced to the extent of only 27,000 coins, and today Mint
State examples are seldom obtainable. This is a lustrous orange-
gold piece with a few ticks that keep it from a higher grade, but its
eye appeal is considerable. The strike is adequate, and the reverse is
relatively abrasion-free. Census: 13 in 61, 14 finer (4/10). (#7820)
Remarkable MS66 1887 Two and a Half
Single Finest Certified
1535 1887 MS66 NGC. The present lot is the single finest certified
business strike 1887 quarter eagle, the only piece to attain the
MS66 level at either major grading service. The 1887 has a low
mintage of 6,160 pieces, excluding the 122 proofs coined. This
prooflike Premium Gem is well struck aside from star 1 and the
upper left reverse dentils. The flashy fields display only microscopic
contact. Presumably sold in the past as a proof, but not from proof
1887 dies, which have the date set higher in the field. A prize for
the collector who will not settle for less than the finest obtainable
quality. (#7839)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010

Fully Frosted 1888 Two and a Half, MS65
Splendid Gem 1895 Quarter Eagle
1544 1898 MS67 NGC. CAC. This intricately struck Superb Gem
possesses exemplary cartwheel luster and virtually pristine surfaces.
A remarkable example of this McKinley-era issue. Only 24,000
pieces were struck, since larger gold denominations were more
convenient for bank reserves and overseas trade. Census: 34 in 67,
0 finer (4/10). (#7850)
1538 1889 MS64 PCGS Secure. This coruscating example has a well
preserved obverse, and the reverse is smooth save for a single minor
thin mark beneath STATES. A meager 17,648 pieces were struck.
Population: 43 in 64, 9 finer (4/10).(#7841)
1543 1898 MS65 NGC. Boldly impressed with light yellow-gold and
apricot color. The luster has a satiny texture on this carefully
preserved Gem from a low-mintage issue of just 24,000 pieces.
NGC has graded 88 numerically finer examples (4/10).(#7850)
Superb Gem 1898 Two and a Half
1537 1888 MS65 NGC. In 1888 the mintage of quarter eagles jumped
to 16,001 pieces from 6,160 coins the previous year. Previous
years from the 1880s had similarly tiny mintages. However, few
Gems were set aside even though lower-grade Uncirculated coins
are relatively available. The surfaces on 1888 quarter eagles are
seldom prooflike as seen on previous years, and this piece shows
a decidedly frosted finish, a finish that is comparable to a San
Francisco product. The strike is even and well brought up, but not
quite complete. Each side shows lovely reddish-tinted mint luster,
and there are no singularly important abrasions on either side.
Census: 17 in 65, 4 finer (4/10). (#7840)
1541 1895 MS65 NGC. CAC. A needle-sharp Gem whose shimmering
apricot-gold and pastel sea-green fields appear unabraded, as do
both major devices. Exceptional quality for an issue generally
encountered in abraded or lackluster condition. A scant 6,000
pieces were struck. Census: 15 in 65, 23 finer (4/10). (#7847)
Notable MS66 1896 Quarter Eagle
1539 1890 MS63 PCGS. This sharply struck scarce date quarter eagle
appears at first to merit a finer grade, but a small glossy area is
noted above the eagle’s head. A mere 8,720 pieces were struck.
Population: 29 in 63, 27 finer (4/10).(#7842)
Impressive MS65 1893 Quarter Eagle
1542 1896 MS66 NGC. A multidimensional Premium Gem with
outstanding eye appeal for this low-mintage Nth century quarter
eagle issue. The central definition in impressively sharp, and the
slight satin of the fields blooms into impressive yellow-gold luster.
Smooth and delightful in all respects. Census: 25 in 66, 8 finer
(4/10). (#7848)
1540 1893 MS65 PCGS. While the 1893 quarter eagle’s business strike
production of 30,000 pieces is small by today’s standards, it was the
largest such issue since 1880, and no other date in the series would
touch that level until 1900. This Gem representative has bold
orange-gold luster touched in rose, satiny and delightful. Sharply
struck with only a few tiny disturbances in the fields, and housed in
a green label holder. Population: 36 in 65, 15 finer (4/10). (#7845)

1545 1900 MS65 NGC. A sharply struck Gem with swirling luster.
Coloration ranges from light yellow to sun-gold with suggestions of
orange or peach. A handful of wispy marks are visible in the fields.
(#7852)
1546 1901 MS65 PCGS. A bright Gem with frosty yellow-gold luster
that shifts between canary and sun shadings. Impressively detailed
and carefully preserved. PCGS has graded just 85 numerically finer
pieces (4/10).(#7853)
Outstanding MS66+ 1901 Quarter Eagle
1547 1901 MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Lemon and sun-yellow hues
glimmer as this pleasing Premium Gem is tilted in the light. Razor-
sharp detail and impressive preservation combine on a single coin,
and the eye appeal brings this piece tantalizingly close to an even
finer designation. A great example from a five-figure mintage.
PCGS has certified just six coins finer (4/10). (#7853)
1548 1903 MS64 NGC. A razor-sharp Choice butter-gold near-Gem
that has outstanding luster and smooth surfaces. An excellent
candidate for a high quality Liberty gold type set. (#7855)
1549 1903 MS66 NGC. Needle-sharp central striking definition and
rich, effervescent luster. Color is largely yellow-gold to orange,
though a small alloy spot is noted above the eagle’s head.
(#7855)
1550 1904 MS65 NGC. Olive-green margins encompass honey-gold
centers. Lustrous and fully struck with nearly pristine surfaces
save for wispy contact above the eagle’s head. Encased in a prior
generation holder. (#7856)
1551 1906 MS64 PCGS. This lemon-tinged near-Gem has dynamic
luster and a full strike. Butter-gold and lime-green toning ensure
the originality of the minimally abraded surfaces.(#7858)
1552 1906 MS65 NGC. Boldly impressed with effusive luster, yellow-
orange and honey-gold with a few touches of green. A carefully
preserved Gem ideal for the type collector.(#7858)
1553 1907 MS65 PCGS. A honey-gold Gem from the final year of the
long-lived gold type. Precisely struck and impressively unabraded
with booming cartwheel sheen. Housed in a green label holder.
(#7859)
1554 1907 MS66 NGC. Sharply impressed with bold yellow-gold luster.
This attractive and carefully preserved Premium Gem is well-suited
to a 20th century gold type set. (#7859)
PROOF LIBERTY QUARTER EAGLES
Delightful PR64 Cameo 1884 Quarter Eagle
1555 1884 PR64 Cameo PCGS. The decade starting with 1878 showed
continuous increases in the mintages of proof quarter eagles with
a single exception: 1884, in which the official mintage fell from
82 coins to just 73 pieces. About half of that production survives
today, though few examples are so attractive as this PR64 Cameo
coin. The contrast is bold, and slight variation is noted in the
yellow-gold color of the mirrors. A sharply impressed specimen that
shows small contact marks which influence the technical grade, as
well as minor lint marks which do not. Population: 4 in 64 Cameo,
2 finer (5/10). (#87910)
1900 Quarter Eagle, PR64 Cameo
Bright and Sharply Contrasted
1556 1900 PR64 Cameo PCGS. A boldly contrasted specimen of this
turn-of-the-century issue, the fields are deeply mirrored with pale
golden frost enveloping the fully detailed devices. This charming
proof shows a few minor hairlines and points of contact, including
a flaw just above star 13 on the obverse, but the eye appeal is strong
for the grade. Population: 5 in 64 Cameo, 5 finer (5/10). (#87926)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 237
Glittering 1907 Quarter Eagle, PR65 Cameo
From the Amon Carter Collection
1557 1907 PR65 Cameo NGC. Ex: Amon Carter Collection. This
remarkable Gem Cameo proof has brilliant light yellow surfaces
with bold design definition and exceptional field to device contrast.
Plate matching proof gold coins provides a challenge, and the only
markers that we find on this piece to match the Carter catalog plate
is a small field mark above the lowest inside leaf of the olive branch
on the reverse, and a tiny toning spot at the center of the left wing
along its top edge. This extraordinary Gem will be a welcome
addition to an advanced proof gold cabinet or type collection.
Ex: Amon Carter Collection (Stack’s, 1/1984), lot 583. (#87933)
INDIAN QUARTER EAGLES
1558 1908 MS64 NGC. Solidly struck for this first-year issue with
strong, subtly swirling luster. The color of this near-Gem is generally
sun-yellow with occasional orange accents. (#7939)

Magnificent MS67 1908 Indian Quarter Eagle
1559 1908 MS67 PCGS. In their Encyclopedia of US. Gold Coins,
Garrett and Guth note that the 1908 quarter eagles have a
distinct advantage on their peers in terms of high-grade survival,
in that “many examples were saved as the first of their kind,” and
so the date “is available in all grades, including gem condition,
and specimens can even be located in MS66 grades.”
In this case, however, “all grades” does not translate to
“every grade,” as a quick check of the PCGS Population Report
reveals. Beyond MS66, where the date is already elusive, there
are just two Superb Gems certified by that service, both graded
MS67 (4/10). Moreover, there are only four MS67 coins in the
Population Report for the entire series, making this an example of
vital importance to type collectors as well as series enthusiasts.
Garrett and Guth note a peculiar striking characteristic
of the 1908 quarter eagles. The top of the eagle’s front wing
is almost always softly struck, “a result of the dies not being
prepared properly.” This Superb Gem holds true to the rule, but
elsewhere, the strike is pleasing. The luster is gorgeous, yellow-
orange save for a tiny dot of alloy below the portrait’s chin,
and the surfaces are incredibly smooth, with only the tiniest
of marks visible on close inspection. A magnificent coin that
could fit in a top-flight type set or the ultimate Indian quarter
eagle assemblage with equal ease. (#7939)

Brilliant 1909 Quarter Eagle, MS64
Near-Mint 1911-D Two and a Half, Strong D
1566 1911-D—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Unc. The orange-
gold surfaces are glossy and a bit bright. Nonetheless, this key date
quarter eagle retains full design definition, and the all-important
mintmark is bold. Easily the lowest mintage issue of the highly
collectible series. (#7943)
Bright AU58 1911-D Two and a Half
1561 1909 MS65 PCGS. The 1909 quarter eagle is available for a price
in grades through MS64, but Gems are scarce and anything finer
than that is a rarity; PCGS has certified just 16 such coins (4/10).
This well struck example is uncommonly beautiful with rich, satiny
luster and bold strawberry-orange overtones that highlight wheat-
gold fields. (#7940)
1563 1911 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Apricot and olive-green blanket this
bagmark-free Indian type coin. Portions of the headdress lack a
precise strike, but gently shimmering luster ensures the eye appeal.
(#7942)
1560 1909 MS64 PCGS. CAC. An issue that is available at the near-
Gem grade, the 1909 is elusive any finer. This piece has bold design
features with frosty yellow-gold luster and full mint brilliance. It is
an excellent candidate for a matched set of Indian quarter eagles or
for a nice type collection. (#7940)
Delightful Gem 1909 Quarter Eagle
1564 1911-D AU58 PCGS. The 1911-D quarter eagle is always a
popular key issue from the Indian Head series, despite the
availability of examples in nearly any grade sought. Since it is the
key and one of only three mintmarked issues (all D-mints) in the
series, most collectors opt for the Normal D variety rather than the
Weak D pieces on the market. In A Collector’s Guide to Indian Head
Quarter Eagles the authors write that “it makes no sense to pay a
strong premium for a mintmarked issue and to not be able to clearly
see the mintmark.” Picky collectors should also opt for a well-struck
coin overall. This is a bright coin that displays much original mint
luster and pronounced granular surfaces. The only marks of any
note are a couple of light abrasions in the right reverse field. The
mintmark is indeed strong, but the lip of the PCGS slab covers
about half of it; however angling the coin under a good light reveals
the strong definition listed on the insert. (#7943)
1565 1911-D AU58 NGC. The 1911-D quarter eagle is usually a well-
struck issue, although it sometimes displays a touch of softness in
the central obverse. The reverse is normally sharply struck, and all
genuine examples show a wire rim around part of the reverse, from
1 to 5 o’clock. The center of the Indian’s cheek is the high point on
the obverse. It is there that friction in the form of high-point wear
will first show up, along with the upper edge of the eagle’s wing on
the reverse. Tiny scattered abrasions will almost always be found,
but this piece shows a notable lack of these marks. The surfaces are
bright yellow-gold, and overall this is a pleasing example of this rare
issue. (#7943)
Mint Sharpness 1911-D Two and a Half
Near-Gem 1910 Quarter Eagle
1562 1910 MS64 NGC. Sun-yellow surfaces are slightly satiny with
suggestions of green-gold. Well struck through the centers with
slight softness at the margins, which show evidence of significant
die erosion. Minimally marked overall with a handful of small
abrasions and more visible grazes present at the left obverse.
From The Williams Collection. (#7941)

Bold 1911-D Quarter Eagle, MS62
1567 1911-D MS62 PCGS. Collectors and dealers of Indian Head
quarter eagles are always on the lookout for nice examples of the
key 1911-D, along with the secondary keys, the 1914 and 1914'
D. The 1911-D is sometimes found with a Weak D, but most
collectors opt for a piece that is well-struck throughout, as well
as on the mintmark. This is generally no problem, as the 1911-D
comes with a good strike, as a rule. The reverse is almost always
well-defined, although occasional weakness appears in the central
obverse. Prospective buyers should also be on the lookout for the
authenticating wire rim always seen on the obverse, from 1 o’clock
to 5 o’clock. The strike on this brilliant green-gold example is
extremely sharp, with a completely defined mintmark. A few
imperceptible surface marks prevent a higher grade. Here is an
excellent opportunity for the avid collector. (#7943)
1568 1912 MS63 NGC. This almond-gold Indian quarter eagle type
coin provides satin sheen and a pleasing strike. Marks are few, and
none are remotely worthy of mention.
From The Williams Collection.(# 7944)

Richly Colored MS65 1913 Quarter Eagle
1570 1913 MS65 PCGS. Rich orange-gold color is seen on this lustrous
and boldly impressed Gem. Careful examination is required to
locate even trivial marks. The 1913 is readily available through
near-Gem. Gems are scarce and finer grades are extremely rare.
Population: 85 in 65, 5 finer (4/10). (#7945)
1571 1914 MS62 PCGS. A radiant representative of this much better
date. The lowest headdress feathers are incompletely impressed, but
the strike is otherwise unassailable, and marks of any consequence
are surprisingly few. (#7946)
1572 1914 MS62 PCGS. The 1914 has the second lowest mintage of
the Indian quarter eagle series, and nice Mint State examples are
desirable. The present piece has minimal marks and a good strike.
(#7946)
Lustrous MS64 1914-D Quarter Eagle
1573 1914-D MS64 NGC. Impressively detailed for this Denver issue
with bold yellow-gold luster that borders on flashy. Both sides
are pleasingly preserved with only a few tiny ticks and abrasions
present in the fields. Like most Indian quarter eagle issues, the
1914'D is a borderline condition rarity any finer; NGC has certified
just 34 numerically superior pieces (4/10). (#7947)
1574 1925-D MS64 PCGS Secure. CAC. A peach-gold and green-
gold Choice Indian quarter eagle whose satiny surfaces display only
individually inconsequential marks. The reverse and the portrait
are especially unabraded. The mintmark is bold, although the lower
portion of the headdress lacks a full strike. (#7949)
1575 1925-D MS64 AN ACS. Precisely struck and coruscating with
attractive and original almond-gold surfaces. The 1925-D was the
first issue of the series struck since 1915, and is the only branch
mint issue after 1914. (#7949)
1912 MS64 NGC. CAC. Strong, slightly satiny luster dominates
the eye appeal of this wheat-gold near-Gem. Boldly struck with an
obverse that displays well, though marks to the right of the M in
UNUM and below the O in OF on the reverse preclude Gem status.
NGC has graded 55 numerically finer pieces (4/10).(#7944)
1576 1927 MS62 AN ACS. Well struck with bright yellow-gold luster.
The obverse is close to Select quality, though it shows a handful
of peripheral abrasions, which become more visible scrapes on the
reverse.(#7951)
1577 1929 MS61 AN ACS. A well struck example of this final-year issue
with subtly frosted wheat-gold luster. Numerous wispy abrasions
and a few more overt marks contribute to the grade.(#7953)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 241
1578 1929 MS65 PCGS. CAC. 1929 is the final date of both the
quarter eagle and half eagle Indian series. The 1929 half eagle has
a higher mintage than its quarter eagle stablemate, yet the half
eagle is rare while the quarter eagle is considered common. At
the MS65 level, however, the 1929 two and a half is undeniably
scarce. This shimmering example has a bold strike, clean surfaces,
and pleasing eye appeal. PCGS has certified just three pieces finer
(4/10). (#7953)
Tantalizing MS65 1929 Quarter Eagle
1579 1929 MS65 NGC. A well struck Gem example of the last quarter
eagle issue struck for circulation, strongly lustrous with a slightly
satiny texture to the surfaces. While a few minor disturbances
are present in the fields, the overall eye appeal is solid. The best
condition most collectors can hope to obtain, as NGC has certified
just one coin finer (4/10). (#7953)
PROOF INDIAN QUARTER EAGLE
Appealing 1911 Indian Quarter Eagle, PR65
1580 1911 PR65 PCGS. CAC. The fine-grained matte surfaces of this
Gem proof 1911 Indian quarter eagle have a lighter yellow color
than normally seen on this date, although the surfaces are darker
than the so-called Roman Finish coins of the previous two years.
Both sides have bold, fully defined details, representing the dies
as they were intended. It is these carefully produced proof coins
that show the design as the artist originally composed. This highly
appealing 1911 Gem proof Indian quarter eagle will provide the
specialized collector or the type coin enthusiast with a wonderful
example. Population: 17 in 65, 26 finer (5/10). (#7960)
THREE DOLLAR GOLD PIECES
1581 1854 AU55 NGC. A lightly circulated yellow-gold example of
this first-year three dollar gold issue. Scattered minor abrasions
and a pinscratch that runs from the first S in STATES to Liberty’s
headband. (#7969)

1582 1854-0 XF45 NGC. CAC. The three dollar gold piece was struck
at the Southern mints in just one year, 1854, when Dahlonega
and New Orleans coined the denomination. This is a lightly worn
example of the latter issue, luminous with dusky yellow-orange
surfaces. Central striking weakness is most visible at the 5 in the
date. (#7971)
1583 185 7-S — Mount Removed — NGC Details. AU. The rim is filed
at 6 and 12 o’clock, consistent with former placement in a locket.
The obverse exergue and upper reverse field appear smoothed, the
obverse field has a couple of pinscratches, and both sides are glossy
from cleaning. Only 14,000 pieces were struck.(#7977)
Attractive 1864 Three Dollar Rarity, MS 63
1584 1864 MS63 PCGS. Issued to the extent of only 2,630 coins at
the height of the Civil War, the 1864 three dollar gold piece is a
business strike rarity. Since 1993, we have offered two MS64 coins,
and four MS63 coins in all of our auctions. Only 10 other pieces
have appeared in lower Mint State grades, an average of only one
per year in MS60 or finer grades. Patience is required when seeking
an attractive example of this issue. The piece offered here has a
nice strike with brilliant and lustrous green-gold surfaces. A few
trivial marks and toning lines appear on each side, with faint draw
bench lines from the original minting process. Population: 4 in 63,
11 finer (4/10). (#7985)
Near-Mint 1873 Closed 3 Three Dollar
1585 1873 Closed 3 AU58 PCGS. Like the legendary 1870-S three
dollar, the 1873-dated coins of the same denomination are
enigmatic treasures. While Mint records do not indicate the striking
of any three dollar gold coins for circulation in 1873, circulation-
strike examples dated 1873 (always with Closed 3) certainly exist,
as attested by this reflective near-Mint example. Pale yellow-gold
surfaces are lightly rubbed and modestly abraded. While the portrait
is well-defined, softness at the knot in the reverse wreath makes it
clear that this example is a business strike. Population: 22 in 58, 9
finer (5/10). (#7995)

1877 Three Dollar, AU53
Rarely Seen as an Unquestioned Business Strike
1586 1877 AU53 PCGS. The 1877 three dollar is a well-known key
to the series. It is primarily well-known because so many coins
dated 1877 are low-mintage rarities, and the three dollar has a low
mintage to back it up with only 1,468 pieces struck for circulation.
All such pieces have prooflike fields or remnants of prooflikeness (as
seen here). While there were 30 proofs struck, it is believed that an
unrecorded number were struck at a later date, thus making proofs
“easier” to locate than actual business strikes. That is especially the
case with impaired proofs. Since diagnostics are known for proofs,
it is a relatively simple matter to verify that this piece was struck for
circulation: It lacks the “teardrop” near the eye, there is no rust spot
below Liberty’s ear, and the date is higher in the field than seen on
a proof. The protected areas around the devices show significant
prooflikeness still, while the fields have been dulled by handling by
a short time in the channels of commerce. Numerous small, and a
few medium-sized abrasions are scattered over each side. This is a
rare opportunity for the three dollar specialist. Population: 4 in 53,
29 finer (4/10). (#7999)
1587 1878 XF40 NGC. Glimpses of orange luster cling to the device
outlines and lettering of this khaki-gold three dollar piece. A tiny
circular mark is noted at 12 o’clock, but there are no other remotely
relevant abrasions. (#8000)
1588 1878 AU55 NGC. Luster fills the legends and devices of lightly
circulated gold type coin. Liberty’s hair and eyebrow display wear
consistent with the grade, and unimportant marks are noted on the
cheek and plumes. (#8000)
1589 1878 AU58 PCGS. Great swirling luster despite light wear. Rich
yellow and orange hues prevail on minimally marked surfaces. An
appealing near-Mint type coin.(#8000)
1590 1878 AU58 PCGS. Luster dominates design elements, but wear is
evident along the left border of Liberty’s hair. The left obverse field
has a few faded marks. Die doubled on the upper right portion of
the wreath, as often seen on this collectible date.
From The Williams Collection. (#8000)
Bold 1878 Three Dollar, MS62
1591 1878 MS62 NGC. The familiar reverse with die doubling on the
right-side cotton leaves and light repunching within the upper
loops of the 8s. This khaki-gold type coin has ample luster, and the
sharply impressed surfaces appear unabraded aside from a few trivial
obverse hairlines. (#8000)

Flashy Gem 1879 Three Dollar Gold
1592 1879 MS65 NGC. The healthy mintage of 1878 three dollar
coins made the piece a type issue, produced to the extent of more
than 82,000 coins. This was related to the reestablishment of
parity between silver coins, gold coins, and currency, something
that had not occurred for more than two decades previous to that
time. But after parity was achieved, there was no need for the three
dollar gold coins to serve any particular function. The mintage
plummeted in 1879 to a mere 3,000 coins.
This Gem example offers remarkably flashy, mirrored fields, but
a bit of cartwheel blends in. This effect is seen on most business
strikes in the series, while proofs lack the cartwheel appearance.
The devices are nevertheless frosted and contrast against the
fields with an unacknowledged cameo effect. The sharp strike has
produced a full bowknot and complete venation on the wreath, but
a hint of softness appears on the hair curls. Although a few light
field marks occur, none are singularly mentionable. Census: 18 in
65, 3 finer (4/10). (#8001)
Stunning 1885 Three Dollar
MS65 ★ Prooflike
1593 1885 MS65 ★ Prooflike NGC. The NGC Census Report indicates
that that service certifies a substantial minority of 1885 three dollar
gold pieces as Prooflike, with 21 certification events versus 108
entries of the non-Prooflike variety. At the top of the census, there
are more MS65 Prooflike coins than MS65 (by the narrow margin
of 6 to 5), but this is the only coin at that grade level awarded the
Star designation (4/10) regardless of Prooflike status. Flashy yellow-
gold mirrors host attentively struck devices that are themselves
minimally marked. A small abrasion to the left of Liberty’s nose
influences the technical grade, while on the same side, a looping
lint mark below the bust will allow for easy plate-matching in the
future. (#78007)

Lustrous MS62 1887 Three Dollar
1594 1887 MS62 NGC. Strongly reflective, as are many examples of
this low-mintage date from the final decade of the denomination.
Surfaces are primarily sun-yellow with prominent mint-green
elements at the top of Liberty’s headdress and along the lower
reverse. NGC has certified 88 numerically finer pieces (4/10).
(#8009)
Flashy MS64 1887 Three Dollar
1595 1887 MS64 PCGS. With 6,000 business strikes produced, the
1887 is actually the highest-mintage three dollar gold issue in the
denomination’s last decade, a testament to its obsolescence by the
time it was taken out of service. High-end examples are a slightly
offbeat but popular choice for gold type collectors, and coins such
as this near-Gem are ideal for the purpose. The strike is impressive,
and the pale yellow-gold fields have a combination of mirrored
reflectivity and the design’s famous swirling luster. Minor wispy
marks in the fields and a few small digs on the reverse account for
the grade. PCGS has graded 32 coins as MS65 or better (4/10).
(#8009)
Appealing 1888 Three Dollar, MS63
1596 1888 MS63 PCGS. CAC. A yellow-gold Select beauty with
the strong, swirling luster characteristic of the series. The central
definition is strong, and each side shows more wispy marks than
significant abrasions. One of just 5,000 business strikes produced for
this penultimate three dollar gold issue. (#8010)
1597 1889—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. Unc. No trace
of wear is visible on this final-year three dollar gold coin, well
struck on the obverse with even sharper definition on the reverse.
Orange-gold surfaces show disturbed luster that is at once bright
and subdued. (#8011)

PROOF THREE DOLLAR GOLD PIECES
Stunning PR65 Ultra Cameo 1859 Three Dollar
1598 1859 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. The 1859 is the first proof three
dollar gold issue offered for sale to the public, and also the first for
which an official mintage is known: 80 pieces. This figure, however,
has only a tenuous connection to the reality for today’s collectors.
As Garrett and Guth note in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins:
“The mintage figures for Proof $3 gold pieces in 1859, 1860,
and 1861 are the number of coins struck, not actually sold.
In all three cases, an unknown number of unsold Proofs was
left over and most likely destroyed. The number of survi¬
vors of each date supports a true mintage figure of about
three-dozen coins...”
Garrett and Guth continue by noting that such a mintage
would be in line with the stated mintages for 1862 and 1863
proof three dollar coins, at 35 and 39 pieces, respectively, by
which time the Mint had become more attuned to the likely
level of proof gold sales for each year.
While non-Ultra Cameo coins have been certified in
higher numeric grades, there are no finer Ultra Cameo or
Deep Cameo coins than this remarkable Gem; NGC lists two
PR65 Ultra Cameo coins in its Census Report, while the PCGS
Population Report shows no Deep Cameo equivalents in Gem
(4/10). Leaving the population figures aside, this is simply a
beautiful specimen. The canary-yellow frost of the exquisitely
struck devices and the gleaming golden-black of the mirrors
combine for spectacular contrast. A few tiny planchet flakes
are visible, but not distracting, and while close inspection turns
up a handful of hairlines, the overall effect is consistent with
the grade assigned. A magnificent Gem that offers a grand
opportunity for the discerning collector of 19th century proof
gold. (#98022)

Proof 1886 Three Dollar, XF Sharpness
EARLY HALF EAGLES
1599 1886—Cleaned—ANACS. XF40 Details. Any proof three
dollar gold piece is desirable, due to low mintages throughout the
series. The 1886 has a proof emission of only 142 pieces, many of
which eventually circulated and were melted long ago. The present
specimen has survived, and although the fields and portrait are
glossy, reflective luster persists near design crevices. (#8050)

Breen-6412, BD-3, High R.3. This piece has faint scratches

Both sides have light green-gold surfaces with few other blemishes.

Almost Uncirculated 1795 Small Eagle Five Dollar
Scarce BD-12 Variety
1601 1795 Small Eagle AU50 PCGS. Breen-6417, BD-12, High
R.6. Obverse State a, Reverse State b, with no cracks, lapping,
or die clashing on the obverse, evidence of light die lapping
on the reverse. This curious and final die variety for the year
is underrepresented among collections of early fives. An
unknown number were struck. John Dannreuther estimates
between 400 and 800 pieces, but the real story is the number
of survivors, again using J.D.’s estimate, only 12-15 individual
pieces have survived. This is the so-called “Apostrophe”
obverse die, that shows the remnants of a mispunched letter
between B and E. Some have claimed it is an I and others
(notably Breen) have said it is an E. The obverse die apparently
cracked and was discarded, even though none of the known
examples show any trace of such cracking. The 1796 obverse
is overdated from a distinctly different and unused 1795-dated
die, one not found on any coins actually struck with that date.
The surfaces are bright yellow-gold, and the devices are
generally well struck with a bit of softness in the centers. The
reverse has several minor adjustment marks in the center.
The left obverse field has a diagonal scrape, and the reverse
shows several shallow planchet flaws that are mostly unseen to
the unaided eye. The reverse appears to have been lapped, as
mentioned in the BD reference, with several leaves on the left
(facing) side showing hollow centers. (#8066)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 249
1603 1802/1 XF40 NGC. Breen-6440, BD-2, High R.4. Centered
overdate obverse paired with a reverse that has the first S in
STATES too low and a die cud over the F in OF. Gold-orange
surfaces are moderately abraded and lightly worn, yet they sport
surprising gold-orange radiance. This half eagle is better-defined
than most through the centers, in light of the grade assigned.

1602 1795 Small Eagle—Obverse Damage, Improperly Cleaned—
NCS. AU Details. Breen-6412, BD-3, R.3. The BD-3 die
combination is seen more frequently than any other in the series.
Stars 11, 12, and Y are all extremely close or touching. The reverse
has a leaf in the wreath that joins the final S in STATES. This piece
has vivid green and rose surfaces with a small crescent-shaped mark
across the lower edge of the drapery above the 79. Both sides have
additional surface marks are other blemishes. Additional surface
marks are present on the obverse and reverse, but the overall eye
appeal is excellent. (#8066)
1604 1803/2 AU58 NGC. BD-1, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Obverse State
c / Reverse State c. This is an easily attributed variety due to the
obvious overdate and the blundered TY on the obverse. The T is
missing its right foot, and the Y is missing part of its left foot. There
is another obverse that shows the 1803/2 overdate that was only
used on the BD-4 die pairing. Nineteenth-century numismatist
W. Elliot Woodward called them the First Overdate and Second
Overdate, but on the latter the T is perfect. This piece, despite the
presence of a couple of die cracks on the reverse, is still from a fairly
early state of that die, which was employed until the cracks became
breaks and a terminal rim cud formed. This piece shows light wear
over lustrous reddish-gold surfaces. Abrasions are scattered and
minor. The lower shield, arrow shafts, and left (facing) claw on the
reverse show noticeable adjustment marks. (#8084)

Bright Yellow-Gold 1804 Small 8 Five Dollar
MS61, BD-2
1605 1804 Small 8 MS61 NGC. Small Date, Breen-6443, BD-2, High
R.4. Obverse State c, Reverse State e. Both dies were extensively
used, and the reverse was used with four 1804'dated obverses.
This particular coin shows the vertical rim-to-rim die crack, and
the reverse shows the die crack from the rim through the E in
AMERICA to the right side of the shield. The reverse has been
lapped and there are no traces of die clashing as seen on previous
die states. The BD-2 variety is considered “available” with an
estimated 70-90 pieces believed known in all grades. The surfaces
are bright yellow-gold with semireflective fields. Each side has
numerous but small abrasions. The striking details are remarkably
strong on the reverse with strong breast feather definition above
the shield, but slight softness is noted on Liberty’s hair on the
obverse. (#8085)
1606 1804 Small 8 MS62 PCGS. Breen-6443, BD-1, High R.4. Bass-
Dannreuther Die State II, die cracks on both sides with retained
cud on reverse. The 1 is small, the 8 is small, the crosslet 4 is small
on this BD-1 variety, although the 8 is technically called “Small”
only to distinguish it from the repunched-date Small 8 Over Large
8. Bass-Dannreuther call this the Normal 8, Small 4 variety, noting
that it is the “former Small 8, but it is the correct 8 punch.” The
overdate variety, with the Large 8 Over Small 8, was created when
the die engraver mistakenly began the date with a larger punch for
eagle rather than half eagles, then corrected his error. The 4 on this
BD-1 variety, however, is noticeably smaller than the other three
digits in the date. The 1 is missing its flag, and on the reverse there
is a straight “graver line” from the top left shield corner to the B in
PLURIBUS on the scroll.
This lustrous, original piece offers greenish-gold coloration
near the rims and reddish-gold in the fields and on the central
high points. The die break through UNIT and retained cud are
prominent, from a die close to apparent failure. Some light field
chatter on the obverse and a single scrape on the reverse above the
arrows determine the grade, but there are no other singular marks
and no adjustment marks. A beautiful example overall, given its
relatively pristine condition and two-toned coloration. (#8085)

1607 1807 Bust Right AU58 NGC. Breen-6452, BD-6, High R.4.
Although considered a plentiful early gold variety with about 100
pieces known in all grades, this example is finer than normally
encountered. An attractive near-Mint representative, it has lustrous
green-gold surfaces with lighter yellow highlights. Only a few tiny
surface marks are present on this attractive half eagle. (#8092)
1608 1807 Bust Left—Mount Removed, Polished—NGC Details.
AU. Breen-6453, BD-8, R.2. This unnaturally bright yellow-
gold example has glossy surfaces. Abrasions are scattered, but
only scratches near the RTY in LIBERTY merit mention. The
obverse field is repaired at 12 o’clock, where the rim is filed. Still an
example of the elusive Capped Bust Left gold type.(#8101)
1609 1808—Damaged — NGC Details. VR BD-4, High R.3. No

lightly abraded early gold type coin. The left obverse field has a
few faint curly pinscratches, perhaps severely assessed as graffiti by
NGC. (#8102)
Scarce Mint State 1808 Five Dollar
Wide 5D, BD-4
1611 1808 MS61 NGC. CAC. Wide 5D, Breen-6457, BD-4, High
R.3. This well struck Mint State early five dollar has peach-red
toning throughout the borders, which along with the devices are
illuminated by bright mint luster. The few delicate field marks are
of no concern. This is an impressive example of a scarce gold type.
BD-4 is the sole Wide 5D variety among the four 1808-dated die
pairings, which are further divided into two normal date and two
1808/7 marriages. The overdate is considered rarer, particularly
BD-1, whose production run was apparently limited by a prominent
bisecting obverse die crack. Census: 32 in 61, 86 finer (5/10).

Breen-6462, BD-1, High R.3. The common 1810 half eagle has a
Large Date obverse and a Tall 5 reverse. These coins with the Small
Date obverse are the second most common varieties of the year, but
there is a wide gap between the two positions.
The reverse damage is nothing more than myriad field marks
that diminish the luster. Otherwise, this brilliant green-gold
example is attractive and desirable. (#8106)

AU Details 1811 Half Eagle
Small 5, BD-2
1613 1811 Small 5—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. Breen-
6464, BD-2, R.3. Bass-Dannreuther Die State e/b with prominent
clash marks on both sides. This Capped Bust Left five has only
slight wear on the drapery and other highpoints, but the butter-gold
surfaces are subdued and hairlined. A few small areas of gray patina
are noted on the reverse. (#8109)
Bright Yellow-Gold 1811 Half Eagle
MS61, Tall 5, BD-1
1614 1811 Small 5 MS61 NGC. Tall 5, Breen-6463, BD-1, High
R.3. The scarcer of the two die marriages of 1811 half eagles,
each of which receives separate listing in the Guide Book due to
different size punches used for the denomination. This yellow-
gold Uncirculated example has attractive surfaces, and the strike
is bold aside from slight softness on a small portion of the eagle’s
left (facing) wing. A pair of faint thin marks above the eagle’s head
require a loupe to locate. The open fields are moderately reflective,
while cartwheel luster fills design elements. Two sets of prominent
clashmarks (as produced) are visible on the fields. (#8109)
Appealing 1812 BD-1 Half Eagle, Fine 12
1615 1812 Fine 12 NGC. Breen-6466, BD-1, R.3. Wide 5D. Although
well worn, this attractive half eagle possesses excellent eye appeal
that is the result of its rainbow appearance. Both sides have lilac
and blue-green toning over the yellow-gold surfaces. Seldom do
early gold pieces come in such a low grade, and these are desirable
for collectors on a budget. (#8112)
1616 1813 PCGS Genuine. Breen-6467, BD-1, R.2. The PCGS
number ending in .GN suggests an unknown reason why PCGS
deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the
details of an Unc specimen that has repairs in the reverse fields.
Better-defined than most and unworn, though aftereffects of
smoothing are clearly visible around the eagle.(#8116)
CLASSIC HALF EAGLES
1617 1834 Plain 4 AU58 NGC. Second Head, Breen-6502,
McCloskey 2-B, R.3. The forehead curls show slight friction,
but this lightly abraded introductory year type coin has substantial
luster at the borders and throughout the devices.(#8171)
Lovely 1834 McCloskey 2-A Half Eagle, MS61
1618 1834 Plain 4 MS61 NGC. McCloskey 2-A, R.l. This is easily
the most plentiful 1834 half eagle variety, and it is also desirable for
the tripled 4 in the date. Both sides have rich, satiny yellow luster
with excellent design definition, weak only at the central obverse
as usual. (#8171)

Lovely 1834 Crosslet 4 Five, McCloskey 5-D, AU55
1619 1834 Crosslet 4 AU55 PCGS. Breen-6503, McCloskey 5-D,
R.4. The Crosslet 4 variety is an important Guide Book variety.
While only rated R.4, meaning that nearly 200 examples could
survive, these coins are in high demand in all grades. This Choice
AU piece has lovely yellow surfaces with a splash of orange on the
obverse. (#8172)
1620 1835 AU50 NGC. Second Head, Breen-6505, McCloskey 3-D,
R.3. Peach-red luster dominates the margins, while the open fields
are green-gold. This lightly circulated Classic half eagle has faded
marks beneath Liberty’s chin and the left (facing) wing, in addition
to tiny digs near star 3 and above the left wingtip.(#8173)
1621 1835 AU55 PCGS. First Head, Breen-6504, McCloskey 1-B,
R.3. This yellow-gold Choice AU Classic half eagle has a good
strike and ample luminous luster. One inconspicuous field mark is
noted behind the hair ribbon. Population: 41 in 55, 87 finer (4/10).
(#8173)
LIBERTY HALF EAGLES
Pleasing 1839-D Variety 2-A Five, XF45
1622 1839-D XF45 PCGS. Variety 2-A. The mintmark is over the
space between 39, and it is tilted slightly to the left. This is the
usually encountered variety of the 1839-D half eagle. A pleasing
greenish-gold example with sharp design elements for the grade,
this piece retains hints of its original mint luster. Population: 18 in
45, 34 finer (5/10). (#8193)
Prooflike 1841-C Half Eagle, MS62
The Second Finest Known
1623 1841-C MS62+ PCGS Secure. Variety-1. The only known die
variety. Faint die clashing is visible, slightly stronger on the reverse.
This 1841-C half eagle is the single finest example that PCGS has
certified. Just seven coins have received any Mint State grade at
that service. The others are MS62, MS61 (4), and MS60 (5/10).
Overall, it is the second finest known 1841-C half eagle behind the
amazing Pittman Collection MS64 NGC coin.
This gorgeous representative has a nearly full strike, with critical
examination showing weakness only at star 1. Every other design
element is sharp and crisp. The surfaces are wonderful, with prooflike
fields and slight cameo contrast. The connoisseur of Southern Mint
gold will find this piece to be an outstanding acquisition.

Scarce 1842 Large Letters Five, AU58
1624 1842 Large Letters AU58 NGC. The scarcer of the two major
varieties, the Large Letters has much closer spacing on the reverse
peripheral legends than on its Small Letters counterpart. A boldly
struck and impressive Borderline Uncirculated example, Liberty’s
neck has a faint vertical hairline that is barely worthy of singular
mention. The fields are surprisingly unmarked. Census: 10 in 58, 5
finer (5/10).
Ex: Stack’s (3/86), lot 216; Heritage (1/2005), lot 8970 . (#8206)
1625 1843-D Medium D VF35 PCGS. CAC. Variety 10-H. The
only known Medium D die pair. This green-gold Dahlonega half
eagle conceals ample subdued luster beneath its original toning,
and much of the softness on Liberty’s hair is due to its branch mint
strike. No marks are obvious.(#8215)
1626 1845-0 XF45 PCGS. The 1845-0 has a low mintage of 41,000
pieces. Few examples were set aside, since PCGS has certified just
four coins as Mint State. The present coin has pale straw-gold color,
pleasing detail, and an absence of noticeable marks. Population: 23
in 45, 34 finer (5/10).(#8225)
1627 1847-C XF45 NGC. Variety 1. Olive-green and apricot-gold
alternate across this moderately circulated Charlotte No Motto
five. Those gold specialists who appreciate originality will admire
this lightly abraded and problem-free example. The customary
strike with softness on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s fletchings.
(#8233)
1628 1849 AU58 NGC. Breen-6582. The 49 in the date is clearly
repunched. Breen described the variety as “extremely rare,” but
it comprises at least half of all survivors of the issue. The 1849 is
scarce at the near-Mint level, and the present minimally marked
example has substantial luster across the margins. Census: 43 in 58,
28 finer (4/10).
From The Williams Collection. (#8240)
1629 1849-D—Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. Variety
22-L. The mintmark is close to the fletchings on the arrows. Well-
defined with only light wear, though the yellow-gold surfaces are
cleaned with two cuts noted on Liberty’s cheek and another on the
rim below the 18 in the date. (#8242)
1630 1849-D AU58 NGC. Variety 22-L. It appears that this piece
is the third finest known example of the 22-L die marriage. Both
sides have rich green-gold luster with amazing surfaces and brilliant
yellow luster. Faint surface marks and field friction are the only
blemishes. Census: 20 in 58, 8 finer (5/10). (#8242)
1631 1851-D VF30 PCGS. Variety 26-Q. A pleasing butter-yellow
example of this more accessible Dahlonega half eagle issue,
minimally abraded save for a depression in the field above the
eagle. Solid midrange eye appeal. Population: 7 in 30, 83 finer
(4/10).(#8248)
1632 1854 AU58 NGC. Luster illuminates the devices and margins
of this decisively struck near-Mint No Motto half eagle. Smooth
overall, although marks right of the date and above the eagle’s head
merit mention.(#8256)
Splendid 1854-D Large D Five, MS62
1633 1854-D Large D MS62 NGC. Variety unknown. In the 2003
second edition of his work, Doug Winter records two obverse dies
and five reverse dies. This piece is his obverse 30, with the top of
the 1 virtually touching the bust truncation. However, the reverse
is different than his description of reverse W, paired with obverse
30. In fact, the reverse is different than any die used for the 1854'
D half eagles. This splendid Mint State piece has outstanding eye
appeal through its luster and brilliance. Census: 21 in 62, 7 finer
(5/10). (#8258)
1634 1855-S AU50 NGC. Only 61,000 half eagles were struck at the
nascent San Francisco Mint, which concentrated on double eagle
production that year. Softly lustrous yellow-orange fields host
well struck, modestly worn devices that display minor, scattered
abrasions. NGC and PCGS combined have certified just four
pieces as Mint State.(#8265)
1635 1856-C XF40 NGC. Variety 1 . Sole die pair for the year. Despite
light wear and moderate abrasions, this well struck Charlotte half
eagle retains considerable yellow-gold radiance.(#8267)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 255
Surprisingly Lustrous MS62 1857 Five Dollar
1636 1857 MS62 PCGS. Even though 98,188 pieces were struck of the
1857, it was not widely saved at the time of issue. Similarly, it is
often an overlooked date by all but the most serious 19th century
gold specialists. In spite of the MS62 grade, the main attraction
of this coin is its outstanding mint luster. The luster is thick and
frosted, the same as one would expect on a Gem coin. A few small
abrasions are peppered over each side, which account for the grade.
Sharply and evenly defined on each side. Population: 12 in 62, 16
finer (4/10). (#8271)
1857-D Five Dollar, AU55
Scarce D-Mint Issue
1637 1857-D AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 34-CC. The 1857-D
has a lower number of survivors than one would expect from its
low mintage of 17,046 pieces. It is estimated that only 120-130
individual coins are known with the vast majority in VF-XF grades.
Only 20-24 pieces are believed extant in AU condition. Unlike
some fives of this issue, this piece shows only slight softness in
the centers. The surfaces are bright green-gold with a pronounced
reddish tinge. The only mark of note runs along the jawline of
Fiberty. (#8273)
Extraordinary 1858-C Variety 1 Half Eagle
MS62+, Finest PCGS Certified
1638 1858-C MS62+ PCGS Secure. Variety 1. PCGS has certified 10
Mint State 1858-C half eagles, including one MS60, five MS61s,
three MS62s, and this piece that grades MS62 + . It is this exact
coin that is the finest they have graded (5/10). We are only aware
of one other coin, certified MS64 NGC, that bests this piece in
the Census. The aesthetic appeal of this example likely meets or
exceeds that of the single technically finer coin.
Both sides have amazing yellow luster with frosty surfaces and
faint green overtones. The strike is nearly full, and the surfaces
have minor abrasions as expected, but none that stand alone. The
fields are slightly reflective with frosty devices. The Charlotte
specialists should create some excitement when they compete for
this specimen. (#8277)
Choice XF 1870-S Half Eagle
1639 1870-S XF45 NGC. Fight bluish tints are visible mostly at the
margins of surfaces that are yellow-gold with alloy along the left
ribbon end on the reverse and the rims. Well struck with wear
across the high points but few serious abrasions aside from a handful
of small rim bruises. Census: 23 in 45, 37 finer (5/10). (#8321)
256

Appealing AU55 1870-S Five Dollar
1640 1870-S AU55 NGC. Like most San Francisco issues of the 1850s
and beyond, the numismatic survival of the 1870-S half eagle was
a victim of its commercial success. High-end circulated coins such
as this AU55 example are rarities today. Light wear crosses the
high points of this well struck and still-lustrous coin, gold-orange
and lightly abraded with small alloy spots scattered on the obverse.
Census: 12 in 55, 3 finer (4/10). (#8321)
1641 1871-S AU50 NGC. Bright brass-gold surfaces display hints of
luster in the recesses and reveal a curving streak of deeper yellow-
gold on the lower obverse. Well-defined save for softness on the
eagle. Distributed minute marks are visible over each side. Census:
10 in 50, 52 finer (4/10).(#8324)
1642 1873 Closed 3 MS61 PCGS. The Guide Book mintages for 1873
half eagles are nearly equally divided between the Closed 3 and
Open 3 varieties, but the Closed 3 carries a premium in higher
grades. This nicely struck example has dusky orange toning and a
smooth reverse. Population: 27 in 61, 35 finer (5/10). (#8329)
1643 1875-CC VF30 PCGS. A moderately worn example of this
lower-mintage Carson City half eagle issue, yellow-orange with
an alloy spot between the F in OF and the rim. Scattered light
abrasions contribute to the grade. Population: 5 in 30, 50 finer
(4/10).(#8337)
Elusive XF 1876 Half Eagle
Low-Mintage Centennial Issue
1644 1876 XF40 NGC. Neither Philadelphia nor Denver nor San
Francisco issued more than a token number of half eagles in this
Centennial year, perhaps due to the release of a large number of
long-stored silver coins that occurred in this year. The 1876 half
eagle was produced to the extent of only 1,477 pieces. This XF
example shows quite a few of the expected ticks and marks from a
sojourn in circulation, but none of them are severe. The surfaces
are mostly yellow-gold, with a dash of apricot around the date and
some deep ochre around part of the reverse rim. Census: 1 in 40, 22
finer (4/10). (#8339)
Gleaming Near-Gem 1879 Half Eagle
1645 1879 MS64 NGC. Half eagle mintages increased every year from
the phenomenally low 1875 issue (200 coins) to the prodigious
1881 mintage (5.7 million coins), but in 1879 the production was
a still-moderate 301,950 pieces. This near-Gem survivor displays
broad appeal, with gleaming orange-gold surfaces, a bold strike,
and a minimum of marks. Census: 18 in 64, 3 finer (4/10). (#8348)
1646 1881-S MS64 NGC. Well struck and thoroughly lustrous with
minimally marked pumpkin-gold surfaces. The 1881-S is readily
located in typical Mint State grades, but near-Gems of the present
quality are elusive.(#8357)
Stunning 1882-S Half Eagle, MS65
1647 1882-S MS65 NGC. This stunning Gem 1882-S half eagle has
vibrant orange-gold surfaces with frosty mint luster and lovely
iridescent toning. The strike is bold and only a few scattered
marks are evident, including one above Liberty’s head. Seldom do
collectors have an opportunity to acquire a specimen as fine as this
one. Census: 25 in 65, 2 finer (5/10). (#8360)
1648 1885-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. This thoroughly lustrous and boldly
struck near-Gem has a well preserved reverse, a clean portrait, and
only a few unimportant grazes on the left obverse field. Costly any
finer. (#8368)
1649 1886 MS63 NGC. CAC. Boldly impressed with pale yellow-gold
centers and deeper sun-yellow to green-gold color along the rims.
Scattered light abrasions account for the grade. Housed in a prior-
generation holder. Census: 52 in 63, 18 finer (4/10).(#8369)
1650 1886-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. This is a lovely near-Gem orange-
gold specimen from this plentiful issue exceeding 3.2 million pieces.
The bold strike complements broad eye appeal and the relatively
few abrasions for the grade.
From The Williams Collection. (#8370)
1651 1888 MS62 PCGS. A meager mintage of 18,296 pieces confirms
the better date status of the 1888. This lustrous and fully struck
example displays no more than the expected number of obverse
marks. Population: 43 in 62, 26 finer (4/10).(#8372)
1652 1888-S MS62 PCGS. Slight flatness on the high design elements
is barely a detriment on this attractively lustrous S-mint half eagle.
Scattered light abrasions dot yellow-gold surfaces with orange
overtones. Population: 21 in 62, 6 finer (4/10).(#8373)
1653 1889 MS61 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint struck only meager
quantities of gold coins in 1889. For the half eagle, just 7,520
business strikes were issued. Most pieces went into circulation,
and Uncirculated examples are rare. The present satiny and
unbagmarked piece is crisply struck save for the right-side stars.
Census: 23 in 61, 27 finer (5/10).(#8374)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 257
1654 1890 MS61 NGC. Impressively defined with rich yellow-gold
luster that shows suggestions of green and lilac. Scattered light to
moderate abrasions account for the grade. High-end for this notably
low-mintage issue. Census: 11 in 61, 6 finer (4/10).(#8375)
1655 1891-CC MS62 PCGS. CAC. One of the last of the fabled
Carson City Mint’s half eagle issues, here an attractive two-toned
example, yellow-gold at the centers merging with khaki-gold near
the rims. A tiny copper spot appears on Liberty’s cheek and some
brownish patina localized on the reverse, but the strike is bold and
much appeal remains on this relatively unabraded piece.
From The Williams Collection.(#8378)
1656 1891-CC MS62 PCGS. Boldly struck and lustrous with scattered
minor marks and original green-gold color. The ‘91-CC is often
called upon to fulfill the five dollar position within a Carson City
type set.(#8378)
1657 1892 MS63 PCGS. A shimmering Select representative whose
boldly struck surfaces display fewer than the expected number
of small abrasions. A majority of Uncirculated 1892 fives grade
between MS60 and MS62. MS63 survivors are somewhat elusive.
(#8379)
Important MS61 1892-CC Five Dollar
1658 1892-CC MS61 NGC. An uncommon Mint State representative
of this later Carson City half eagle issue, elusive despite a mintage
in the high five figures. Strong striking definition in the centers
with yellow-gold fields around, moderately abraded but impressively
lustrous. NGC has graded 62 numerically finer examples (4/10).
(#8380)
Brilliant 1893-CC Half Eagle, MS62
1659 1893-CC MS62 PCGS. The final year of Carson City production
saw a mintage of 60,000 half eagles, and examples are elusive in all
Mint State grades. This piece has light yellow luster and excellent
design definition. Myriad light abrasions prevent a higher grade.
Population: 33 in 62, 9 finer (5/10). (#8384)
Low-Mintage 1896 Five Dollar, MS65
Rarely Seen as a Gem
1660 1896 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The production of circulation-strike
half eagles dropped precipitously from 1895 to 1896, going from
1.3 million to a mere 58,960 pieces. This low mintage correlates
to a very small availability of the 1896 in Gem condition. Both
services combined have only certified seven Gems, with one coin
finer (4/10). This fully struck example has bright, satiny mint luster
and there are no mentionable abrasions on either side. A rare
opportunity to acquire this overlooked issue in MS65. Population:
2 in 65, 1 finer (4/10). (#8392)
Popular 1899 Half Eagle, MS67
1661 1899 MS67 NGC. The strike is precise throughout this lustrous
and carefully preserved Liberty gold type coin. Careful rotation
beneath a loupe reveals only occasional faint grazes on the portrait
and obverse field. Those in search of the highest obtainable grade
need look no further. Census: 7 in 67, 1 finer (4/10). (#8398)
1662 1901 MS64 NGC. Exactingly struck with bold, satiny luster. This
turn-of-the-century near-Gem shows a pair of long luster scrapes in
the portrait area but is minimally marked. (#8402)
1663 1901-S MS64 PCGS. An outstanding high-end near-Gem that
possesses contact-undisturbed fields and devices. The strike is
intricate, and the eye appeal is remarkable for the MS64 level. For
those who desire the finest quality within a given grade, look no
further than the present lot. (#8404)
1664 1904-S MS62 PCGS. CAC. The 1904'S has a mintage of less
than 100,000 pieces, which explains its scarcity in Uncirculated
grades. The present representative has good luster and a smattering
of mostly minor marks. Population: 31 in 62, 20 finer (4/10).
(#8410)
1665 1907 MS64+ PCGS Secure. This lustrous and fully struck near-
Gem has clean fields and attractive green-gold toning. Faint
grazes on the cheek decide the grade. A plentiful issue in typical
Mint State, but somewhat scarce in the present level of quality.
(#8416)
1666 1908 MS64 NGC. A crisply struck final-year near-Gem that
boasts smooth surfaces and exemplary luster. This impressive gold
type coin is encased in a prior generation holder.(#8418)

Gem 1908 Liberty Five Dollar
An Exceptional Type Coin
1667 1908 MS65 PCGS. This is a splendid Liberty type coin. The
surfaces display bright mint frost, and there is a noticeable lack of
abrasions. The obverse shows interesting, variegated color with the
center bright yellow-gold and surrounded by deeper orange-gold
at the margin. The strike is full throughout. Exceptional quality,
certified in a green-label holder. (#8418)
Impressive MS67 1908 Liberty Half Eagle
1668 1908 MS67 PCGS. The 1908 Liberty half eagles mark the
last appearance of a Christian Gobrecht design on circulating
American coinage, and the year’s production of five dollar coins
was split between this and the novel Pratt design. Still, well over
400,000 Liberty pieces were struck, though survivors so fine as this
magnificent Superb Gem are few indeed. Strong canary-yellow
luster takes on sun-gold attributes at certain angles, and the sharply
struck devices and smooth fields are equally frosty. A singly tiny
mark is noted on the tip of the bust. Tied with seven others for the
finest certified by PCGS (4/10). (#8418)

PROOF LIBERTY HALF EAGLES
Amazing 1894 Liberty Five, PR66 Cameo
The Amon Carter Specimen
Possibly the Finest Known
1669 1894 PR66 Cameo NGC. The Philadelphia Mint only coined 75
proof half eagles in 1894, and only 20 to 30 of those proofs survive
today. Circulated 1894 half eagles are extremely common with
examples known in almost any grade desired. However, proofs are
major rarities today. The majority of survivors grade PR63 or PR64.
The present specimen is one of two similarly graded examples
at the top of the NGC Census report. PCGS has never graded a
PR66 Cameo coin (4/10). Both sides exhibit a few tiny points and
projections, but no other die lines of any importance. This stunning
piece will undoubtedly grace the finest cabinet of proof gold coins,
or a remarkable collection of type coins. It has extraordinary eye
appeal and may qualify as the finest existing 1894 proof half eagle.
This incredible Premium Gem proof exhibits crisp delineation
between the deeply mirrored fields and the highly lustrous devices.
All of the design elements are expectedly bold, save for the very
center on each side. Glittering yellow-gold surfaces host a few
tiny contact marks and two reverse lint marks. Darkish surface
imperfections above the right side of the ribbon positively identify
this as the Amon Carter Collection specimen. The description in
the January 1984 catalog of that collection was brief: “A choice and
beautiful example of this rare Proof. As pretty a coin as one could
ever hope to get.”
Ex: Amon Carter Collection (Stack’s, 1/1984), lot 706. (#88489)

INDIAN HALF EAGLES
1673 1908 MS63 PCGS. Forest-green and peach alternate throughout
this lightly shimmering and alertly struck first year Indian five.
No marks are individually consequential. Encased in a green label
holder. (#8510)
1905 Proof Five Dollar
Only 108 Pieces Struck
1670 1905 PCGS Genuine. Proof. The PCGS number ending in .94
suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the
reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. The surfaces
show PR60 Details. Only 108 proofs were struck in 1905, and
most of them show the all-brilliant method of proofing that began
in 1902. This piece has had some alteration done to the surfaces;
otherwise, its bright yellow-gold color shows just a bit of light
reddish patina. A few light contact marks are scattered over each
side. (#8500)
Rich Yellow-Gold 1906 Half Eagle, PR63
1671 1906 PR63 PCGS. The obverse of this needle-sharp yellow-gold
specimen appears finer than the stated grade. The reverse has faint
hairlines and a brief mark near 7 o’clock. Moderate cameo contrast
is present on each side. Only slight mint frost is necessary to give
the coin this effect against the depth of reflectivity seen in the
fields. Just 85 proofs were struck, and population/census reports
are undoubtedly inflated by resubmissions. Encapsulated in a first
generation holder. One note to prospective bidders: In the left
obverse field it appears there is a sizeable mark in the field in front
of Liberty’s nose. This is actually a flaw in the plastic encapsulation.
Population: 8 in 63, 19 finer (4/10). (#8501)
Low-Mintage 1906 PR64 Five Dollar
1672 1906 PR64 PCGS. In David Akers’ reference on the half eagle
denomination from 1979, he simply stated “Proofs are rare.”
Succinct but true. To elaborate a bit, only 85 pieces were struck.
Of that original, small output probably a little more than half are
extant today. Quite a few (42 actually, minus resubmissions) have
been graded lower than PR64, and only 16 have been certified
finer (4/10). This is a splendid, deeply mirrored example that has
rich reddish-golden color over both sides. There are no noticeable
contact marks evident on the obverse or reverse. Population: 10 in
64, 9 finer (4/10). (#8501)

1674 1908 MS64 NGC. CAC. The 1908 Indian Head half eagle issue
is an in-demand coin from both the first-year type set and date
collector camps. Fortunately, nice specimens such as this piece
are available for a price. This is a lustrous near-Gem with lovely
antique-gold coloration and a bold strike throughout. The cheek
shows only a single tick, but a few marks before the Indian’s face
apparently preclude an even finer grade. (#8510)
Bold 1908 Indian Half Eagle, MS66
1675 1908 MS66 NGC. The Indian Head design for the quarter
eagles and half eagles was the concept of Bela Lyon Pratt, a
former student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and the choice of
Dr. William Sturgis Bigelow, a friend of Pratt and of President
Theodore Roosevelt. Pratt developed a unique design concept with
the devices sunk below the fields. Sometimes called incuse, these
coins actually had the design raised.
This Premium Gem is boldly defined with frosty yellow luster
and light pink overtones. A small dark spot is visible at 2 o’clock on
the obverse, with a few others on the reverse. Census: 15 in 66, 5
finer (5/10). (#8510)
1676 1908-D MS63 PCGS. Splashes of orange and olive-green patina
endow this satiny and typically struck Denver Mint type coin.
The fields display distributed small marks customary for the grade.
(#8511)
1677 1909 MS63 PCGS. Apple-green and apricot shades encompass
this charming five dollar type coin. The strike appears full, even
on the lower reaches of the headdress, and fields display only
infrequent clusters of minor marks. (#8513)
Lustrous Near-Gem 1909 Half Eagle
1678 1909 MS64 PCGS. CAC. While not so heavily minted as its
Denver counterpart, the Philadelphia 1909 half eagle issue is an
underrated date that provides considerable opportunities for type
collectors. This well struck near-Gem representative has rich
yellow-orange luster that lights up surfaces that are surprisingly
smooth for the grade. PCGS has certified 93 finer examples (4/10).
(#8513)
1679 1909-D MS63 PCGS. Orange and apple-green toning endows
this satiny and boldly struck Select Indian gold type coin. Perusal
beneath a lens locates only unimportant abrasions. Encased in a
green label holder.(#8514)
1680 1909-D MS63 NGC. A flashy yellow-gold example of the popular
type issue, well-defined overall and fundamentally pleasing. A few
scattered abrasions are noted on each side, most visibly on the
portrait’s cheek and in the upper reverse fields.(#8514)
1681 1909-D MS63 PCGS. Lime-green and orange toning dominates
this well struck and coruscating type coin. The obverse has only
inconsequential marks, while the reverse is moderately abraded.
Housed in a green label holder.(#8514)
1682 1909-D MS63+ PCGS Secure. Luster shimmers across this
smooth and alertly struck Indian gold half eagle. The obverse
is well preserved, as is most of the reverse. A sole slender mark
beneath UNUM determines the grade.(#8514)
1683 1909-D MS64 NGC. CAC. Strong yellow-orange luster through
the centers with distinct rose and violet elements present at the
margins. Both sides are well-defined overall with only minor
incompleteness on the portrait’s necklace. A great near-Gem for
the type collector. NGC has certified just 68 numerically finer
pieces (4/10).(#8514)

Near-Mint 1909-0 Half Eagle
Final New Orleans Issue
Scarce 1909-0 Indian Five, AU50
Key Issue
1684 1909-0 AU50 NGC. At the AU50 level, this 1909-0 is one of the
more affordable examples of this rare, final year of issue from this
historic mint. The obverse and reverse are evenly balanced in terms
of slight high point friction, reddish color, and small abrasions that
are peppered over each side. The mintmark is relatively strong for
the issue, definitely an O that needs no explanation or imagination.
(#8515)
Popular, Low-Mintage 1909-0 Five Dollar, AU53
1685 1909-0 AU53 PCGS. The anachronistic 1909-0 half eagle
is always popular as the low-mintage key to this 20th century
series, although some other S-mint issues are conditionally even
rarer in high grades. This example displays warm orange-gold
coloration, along with the few minor ticks and high-point wear
that characterize a brief spate in circulation. The mintmark is clear,
although not bold, as usually seen (#8515)
Elusive AU55 1909-0 Half Eagle
1686 1909-0 AU55 NGC. CAC. The final gold issue of any
denomination from the New Orleans Mint, the 1909-0 has the
lowest mintage of the Indian half eagle series, and examples are
eagerly pursued in all grades. This lightly circulated representative
has a few faded minor field marks but displays little highpoint wear.
The mintmark is low relief but unmistakable. (#8515)
1687 1909-0 AU58 PCGS. CAC. By now the mintage of this well-
known rarity is equally notorious, a mere 34,200 pieces. What is
more interesting, however, than just the low mintage is exactly
why so few coins were issued, and under what circumstances. In its
long history from 1838 to 1909, the New Orleans Mint struck only
(varieties aside) 16 differently dated O-mint half eagle issues: the
1840-0, 1842-0 through 1847-0, 1851-0, 1854^0 through 1857-
O (12 Liberty Head, No Motto issues); the 1892-0 through 1894-
O (three Liberty Head, With Motto issues); and the 1909-0, the
lone Indian Head half eagle issue.
By contrast, the last double eagle was the 1879-0 (and it was
the first since the 1861-0), and the last eagle issue was the Liberty
Head 1906-0. While the 1909-0 half eagle’s mintage makes it rare
within the context of the Indian Head series, many of the earlier
O-mint issues had much smaller production numbers. But by 1909
the superannuated mint had been having structural problems for
more than 60 years. The 1909-0 Indian Head half eagles appear to
be a great last gasp, an attempt from the aging, historic edifice to
snatch a bit of relevance from a century that had passed it by.
This near-Mint example displays just the slightest loss of luster
on its high points and nearly complete luster in the fields. As such,
it is rare, since most examples are in the lower ranges of AU at best
and show little luster. The strike is remarkably sharp, with almost
complete definition on the lowest headdress feather. The surfaces
have a pronounced reddish tint, and there are a few small field
marks, consistent with the grade. (#8515)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 263
Near-Mint 1909-0 Five Dollar
1688 1909-0 AU58 NGC. Before 1909, the last New Orleans Mint half
eagle issue had come in 1894. That year’s total was 16,600 pieces.
The 1909-0 has a mintage more than twice that, at 34,200 pieces,
but circumstances had changed over the years. The half eagles
struck in 1909 came in the last year of coinage operation at New
Orleans, and were in the Indian design and not Liberty; moreover,
the issue was not one of many low-production dates, but instead
became the key to the series.
This example circulated only briefly, with minor rub and marks
across each side, most visibly on the cheekbone. The strike is solid
in the centers with only minor peripheral softness. Orange-gold
surfaces reveal emerald overtones when tilted in the light. (#8515)
Impressive MS63 1909-S Five Dollar
1689 1909-S MS63 PCGS. Four mints struck half eagles in 1909, the
first such occurrence since 1861. Although the 1909-0 gets all the
attention, the 1909-S is also a better date, especially in Mint State.
This is a well struck and lustrous example that has pumpkin-gold
toning with glimpses of peripheral olive-green. Marks are minor
for the designated grade. Encapsulated in a green label holder.
Population: 20 in 63, 19 finer (5/10). (#8516)
1690 1910 MS63 PCGS. This precisely struck half eagle has radiant
fields and splendid deep apricot toning. A small blush of aquamarine
is at 6:30 on the obverse. Uncommonly devoid of abrasions for the
MS63 level, and a pleasure to inspect beneath a loupe. Certified in
a green label holder.(#8517)
Select 1910-D Indian Five
1691 1910-D MS63 PCGS. An evenly struck and satiny orange-gold
example. Study beneath a loupe locates only a few moderate field
marks. Mintages at Denver declined from 3,423,560 pieces in 1909
to a much lower level of 193,600 pieces in 1910. Very scarce in
MS63 and rare and costly any finer. Housed in a green label holder.
(#8518)
Satiny 1910-S Half Eagle, MS62
1692 1910-S MS62 PCGS. The mintage of the ‘10-S suggests it is a
common date by the standards of the Indian half eagle series, but
most of the production likely entered West Coast circulation,
since the average example grades XF-AU. The present sun-
gold representative shows incompleteness of strike on the lower
headdress, but no marks are consequential, and the mintmark is
readily identified. Population: 75 in 62, 38 finer (4/10). (#8519)
1693 1911 MS63 PCGS. Lovely peach and aqua toning enriches this
unblemished and shimmering five dollar piece. The eye appeal
is superior for the MS63 level. Certified in a green label holder.
(#8520)
Delightful MS64+ 1911 Half Eagle
1694 1911 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. The 1911 is one of the more
accessible Indian half eagle issues in Select and better grades,
though finding anything numerically finer than this MS64 +
example is quite the challenge. It offers a solid strike through the
centers and rich yellow-orange luster with a touch of frostiness. A
few light abrasions leave it just shy of Gem status. PCGS has graded
49 numerically finer pieces (4/10). (#8520)
264 To view full descriptions, enlargeable images and bid online, visit HA.com/1140
1695 1911 -S MS61 PCGS. Intense yellow-gold luster with strong
orange undertones. This S-mint Indian five is well-defined for
the issue but also shows a number of pinpoint marks and wispy
abrasions. (#85 22)
Conditionally Scarce 1911-S Half Eagle, MS63
1696 1911-S MS63 PCGS. Despite a sizeable mintage of more than
1.4 million pieces, the 1911-S is a better date in Mint State, and
is very scarce at the MS63 level. This honey-gold and apple-green
representative has a crisp mintmark and good luster. A couple of
moderate marks are concealed on the right reverse field. The green
label holder has a minor crack on its reverse that has no effect on
the coin or the holder integrity. (#8522)
1697 1912 MS63 PCGS. Olive-green and pumpkin-gold alternate across
this gently shimmering and nicely impressed Indian five. Scattered
small field marks are consistent with the grade. Encapsulated in a
green label holder. (#85 23)
1698 1912 MS63 NGC.Ex: Pittman. A satiny, undipped, and nicely struck
apricot-gold type representative. Only a graze near the UM in UNUM
merits individual mention. Once part of the celebrated collection
of the former ANA President and long-time ANA board member.
Ex: John Jay Pittman Collection, Part One (Akers, 10/1997), lot
1107.(#8523)
1699 1913 MS63 PCGS. This satiny orange-red representative is boldly
struck and displays only minor marks. An appealing example of this
popular gold type. Certified in a green label holder. (#8525)
Well-Preserved MS64+ 1913 Five Dollar
1700 1913 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. An impressively preserved
example of this popular higher-mintage Indian half eagle issue
that comes tantalizingly close to Gem status. Both sides are awash
in rich luster, yellow-orange with more of the former color in the
centers and greater emphasis on the latter at the margins. Well-
defined with just a few small abrasions visible mostly in the fields.
PCGS has graded just 53 pieces as Gem or better (4/10). (#8525)
Challenging MS63 1913-S Five
1701 1913-S MS63 PCGS. Lovely peach-gold toning graces this radiant
and satiny better date half eagle. The strike is precise, and the fields
display only minor contact. The reverse die was lapped, removing
small portions of the eagle and giving it an unusual outlined
appearance. Encased in an old green label holder. Population: 40 in
63, 18 finer (5/10). (#8526)
1702 1914 MS63 PCGS. This sharply struck Select type coin has rich
orange-gold color and is void of relevant abrasions. Luster rolls
unencumbered across the surfaces. Housed in a green label holder.
(#8527)
1703 1914-D MS63 PCGS. Sun-gold luster shimmers across this
refreshingly unabraded and suitably struck Select Indian half
eagle. Occasional glimpses of olive toning visit the obverse margin.
Encased in a green label holder. (#85 28)
Difficult MS63 1914-S Indian Five
1704 1914-S MS63 PCGS. As is the case with all San Francisco Indian
fives, the 1914-S is a better date in Uncirculated grades. But most
such pieces grade either MS61 or MS62, and MS63 examples
are surprisingly rare. This is a flashy yellow-gold representative
that is attractive despite a few wispy marks on the reverse field.
Encapsulated in a green label holder. Population: 17 in 63, 7 finer
(5/10). (#8529)
1705 1915 MS63 PCGS. Original orange and khaki-gold toning
encompass this coruscating and attentively struck Indian five. The
fields are minimally abraded, and the devices conceal only a couple
of unobtrusive marks. (#8530)
1706 1915 MS63 PCGS. This satiny peach-gold representative has
a good strike and no consequential marks. The final readily
collectible Philadelphia Mint issue, since the double eagle proved
more convenient for post-war foreign payments. (#8530)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 265
Famously Rare 1929 Half Eagle, MS63
EARLY EAGLES
1707 1929 MS63 PCGS. In 1929, there was likely not a single
numismatist who believed that the Indian half eagle of that date
would one day become an important rarity. After all, the mintage
of 662,000 pieces ensured that there would be more than enough
to meet the limited demand from gold collectors. So much for
conventional wisdom. Most of the mintage never left Treasury
vaults and was eventually melted into bullion bars to back the
official international value of 35 dollars per ounce of gold. While
certain half eagle issues have returned in quantity to America, the
1929 remains the key date of the Indian series. The present Select
example has interspersed jade-green and orange toning. The strike
is good, and evaluation beneath a lens reveals only insignificant
marks. Housed in an old green label holder. (#8533)
Popular 1795 BD-1 Eagle, AU Details
1708 1795 13 Leaves—Obverse Planchet Flaw—NGC Details. AU.
Breen-6830, Taraszka-1, BD-1, High R.3. Attributed by star
11 being close to the serif of Y in LIBERTY, the tip of 5 in the
date overlapping the bust, and the leaf virtually touches the U in
UNITED. This is the most plentiful of the five 1795 varieties and
popular as a type coin.
The obverse has numerous planchet flaws intermingled with
small scrapes. The reverse is similar although less severe. Both
sides have hints of green on the rose-gold surfaces. An acceptable
example for the budget-minded type collector. (#8551)

Important 1796 BD-1 Eagle, AU53
1709 1796 AU53 NGC. Breen-6832, Taraszka-6, BD-1, R.4. This
intermediate die state has a light die crack in the field below
the E in LIBERTY, downward to the cap and hair above the
ear. The reverse has light clash marks in the wreath above the
eagle’s head. Although some 1796 tens were struck after the
1797 Small Eagle coins, this example was struck earlier.
The Small Eagle reverse design was used from 1796 to
1797, with a total mintage estimated at 13,344 coins. The
distribution of that mintage among the three dates is unknown,
but estimated as follows: 1795 - 9,425 coins, 1796 - 2,800 coins,
and 1797 - 1,119 coins. Today we believe that about 5% of
those coins still survive, or about 140 pieces of this 1796 eagle.
There is no accurate census of 1796 eagles that survive,
although it is fair to say that the majority are in grades below
AU. Date collectors and variety specialists are both keenly
aware that 1795 Small Eagle tens are commonplace when
compared to either 1796 or 1797. This piece has light green-
gold surfaces with traces of yellow luster in the protected areas.
The surfaces are lightly abraded on both sides, although with
no significant marks. The strike is nicely centered with full,
strong borders on both sides. Here is an important opportunity
for the avid collector of early gold coins to acquire a piece that
represents the history of a young nation. Census: 8 in 53, 53
finer (5/10). (#8554)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 267
1797 BD-2 Heraldic Eagle Ten, AU55
1710 1797 Large Eagle AU55 NGC. Breen-6834, Taraszka-12, BD-2,
High R.4. The usual double die crack bisects the second 7 in the
date. The right crack is heavy below the 7, and continues to the
drapery. After a small production of Small Eagle pieces, the Mint
changed to the Heraldic Eagle reverse design that was patterned
after the Great Seal. This piece has pale green and grayish-gold
surfaces with traces of lighter rose luster in the peripheral areas.
Numerous tiny surface marks and planchet flakes are visible on
both sides, but barely affect the visual appeal. (#8559)
Rare BD-5 1799 Eagle
Small Stars Obverse
1711 1799 Small Stars Obverse PCGS Genuine. BD-5, R.6. The
PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or
perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not
gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an XF specimen
that has been cleaned and has an edge repair. The reverse is the key
to this challenging die pair, distinguished by the O in OF being
centered over the break in the clouds. Also on that side are the
edge repairs, above the first T in STATES and beneath the tail
feathers. Both sides also show the after-effects of cleaning on the
yellow-gold surfaces. (#98562)
Irregular Date, Small Stars Obverse
1799 Ten Dollar, BD-8, MS61
1712 1799 Small Stars Obverse MS61 PCGS. CAC. Irregular Date,
Breen-6840, Taraszka-20, BD-8, R.5. The Irregular Date obverse
die is identified by the unusual placement of the digits, with the 1
far below the curl and the final 9 nearly touching the drapery. Every
other 1799 obverse die has the 1 closer to the curl, or the two digits
equally spaced from the curl and drapery.
The Irregular Date obverse was combined with two different
reverse dies. The reverse of Taraszka-19, BD-7 has the star right
of the eagle’s neck high above the scroll, while the reverse of
Taraszka-20, BD-8 (the variety offered here) has the same star
nearly touching the scroll. The Taraszka-20 or BD-8 is the rarer of
the two by a wide margin.
Judging from the appearance of the Bass specimen plated in
John Dannreuther’s Early US. Gold Coins Varieties , this example
appears to be almost identical in quality to the Bass coin. It is fully
lustrous with traces of green over the light yellow surfaces. The
design features are a little flat, as usual (see the Dannreuther plate
for comparison), but both sides have excellent surfaces with only
a few scattered marks. The reverse has a heavy die crack through
MER and a heavy break inside the C. All known examples are in
about the same die state. (#98562)

Lustrous 1800 BD-1 Eagle, AU58
1713 1800 AU58 NGC. Breen-6842, Taraszka-23, BD-1, High
R.3. Only one die combination was produced with the 1800 date,
although some were struck in 1800, and others in 1801 or 1802. The
reverse die was used for the last of the 1799 eagles, all 1800 eagles, and
the first 1801 eagles. Some of those dated 1800 were actually struck
in 1801, after the initial mintage of pieces bearing the 1801 date.
This example has obverse die cracks through LIBERTY, and a
reverse crack through the tail feathers and olive branch, and was
probably one of the latest examples minted. The strike is weak,
a result of the late die state. Both sides have brilliant green-gold
luster, myriad tiny surface marks, and faint obverse adjustment
marks. Census: 22 in 58, 46 finer (5/10). (#8563)
1801 Ten Dollar, BD-2, VF Details
1714 1801—Removed From Jewelry—NGC Details. VF. Breen-
6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. This early eagle is glossy from
polishing, and is bent near the T in LIBERTY and opposite near
the C in AMERICA. Repaired on the reverse rim between 6 and
7 o’clock, where solder was presumably removed. A cluster of
pinscratches is noted near the T in UNITED, and scattered small
marks are consistent with casual storage in a cluttered jewelry box.
Nonetheless, a survivor of the coveted Heraldic Eagle ten dollar
type. (#8564)
Semireflective 1801 Ten Dollar, AU53, BD-2
1715 1801 AU53 PCGS. Breen-6843, Taraszka-25, BD-2, R.2. A
great coin for the type collector, the 1801 BD-2 eagle is easily
the most plentiful variety of all early eagles struck from 1795
to 1804, with 600 to 800 examples known, including many in
AU and Mint State grades. This pleasing piece is housed in a
green-label holder and exhibits lovely green-gold surfaces with
considerable lemon-yellow toning splashed over both sides and
bright, semireflective fields. It is an early die state with no evidence
of clash marks, lapping, or die cracks on either side. Here is an
excellent opportunity to acquire a lovely early ten. (#8564)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 269
Wonderful 1803 Eagle, BD-3, MS62+
Small Stars Reverse
1716 1803 Small Stars Reverse MS62+ PCGS Secure. Breen-
6844, Taraszka-28, BD-3, R.4. Six varieties of 1803 eagles
are known, all from a single obverse die. The six reverse dies
include this die that was previously used for 1801 BD-2, and
the reverse of 1803 BD-6 that was also used for all of the 1804
eagles. The BD-3 die combination is the most plentiful Small
Reverse Stars variety, and the BD-5 marriage is the most
plentiful Large Reverse Stars variety.
This late die state example has light obverse and heavy
reverse clash marks. The obverse clash marks are most visible
in front of Liberty’s neck, while those on the reverse especially
prominent at the center. The reverse has a short die crack
joining the tops of I and T in UNITED, continuing to the border
over the left side of the E. Dannreuther describes a second crack
from the ribbon just inside the right wing up to star 6, although
that feature appears to be a clash mark instead of a crack.
This lustrous example has splendid lemon-yellow surfaces
with full mint brilliance on both sides. A few light adjustment
marks at the top of the cap and at the date are the cause of design
weakness on the reverse, especially at the left claw and arrow
heads. Minor blemishes and faint scratches are evident. Most
notable among the latter are one in front of the face, and another
within the reverse stars. This wonderful Mint State piece will
undoubtedly find a home with an advanced gold specialist.
The PCGS Population Report erroneously includes examples
of the 1803 Extra Star variety in their totals for the Small Stars
Reverse eagle. Actual Population for the Small Stars Reverse:
16 in 62, 1 in 62+, 20 finer (5/10). (#8565)

LIBERTY EAGLES
1842 Small Date Eagle, AU58
Underrated Issue
1717 1842 Small Date AU58 PCGS. Numerous denominations at
different mints in 1842 saw variations in the size of the peripheral
lettering and/or date, including the quarter, half dollar, half eagle,
and eagle, resulting in the Small Date, Medium/Large Date, and
Small Letters/Large Letters varieties. The 1842 Small Date eagle
is an underrated issue produced in an amount only 30% that of its
Large Date counterpart. This is a highly lustrous golden-orange
example of the Small Date that shows much reflectivity in the
fields. There are few marks of any significance and lots of eye
appeal. The strike is bold throughout save for the bottom two stars,
adding to the obvious allure. Population: 3 in 58, 3 finer (4/10).
(#8585)
Lovely AU58 1843 Ten Dollar
1718 1843 AU58 NGC. WelLdefined for this earlier Liberty eagle issue
with luminous butter-yellow fields. Scattered light abrasions are
present in the fields, but there is only a touch of rub present on the
highest design elements. Strictly Mint State examples of the date
are highly elusive; NGC and PCGS have graded only four such
coins between them (4/10). (#8588)
Lustrous Near-Mint 1844-0 Eagle
1719 1844-0 AU58 NGC. The antebellum O-mint eagles are a fruitful
area of study for serious numismatists, and many issues of the
denomination, O-mint and otherwise, appear underrated in today’s
market. The 1844-0 was produced in the quantity of 118,700
coins, and most survivors today are well-circulated. This near-Mint
piece boasts nearly full original mint luster over attractive honey-
gold surfaces. Abrasions are minimal save for a couple of scrapes
in the left obverse field. The strike is good overall, although some
weakness appears on the high points of each side. Census: 49 in 58,
14 finer (4/10). (#8591)
1720 1845-0 XF45 PCGS. The date is repunched, most noticeably on
the 84. The devices are richly detailed, and the sun-gold and pale
green color is clearly original. Field marks correspond to moderate
antebellum circulation. A lower mintage New Orleans issue.
Population: 26 in 45, 47 finer (5/10).(#8593)
1721 1846/5-0—Cleaned—ANACS. AU Details, Net XF40. Breen-
6875. Described on the holder as an “O/O” variety, and the reverse
does indeed have a repunched mintmark. Lightly worn with over-
bright satin surfaces that gleam yellow-gold.(#8596)
1722 1850 Large Date AU55 PCGS. A pleasing Choice AU example
of this eagle variety, a distinct rarity in Mint State. Modestly worn
on the high points with still-lustrous yellow-gold fields that are
satiny. Soft definition on the stars has little bearing on the eye
appeal. Population: 18 in 55, 17 finer (4/10).(#8603)
1723 1850-0 XF45 PCGS. A sun-gold example of this low mintage
(57,000 pieces) New Orleans issue. Luster still visible on the design
recesses of each side. The luminous surfaces display scattered marks,
yet none are significant. Population: 40 in 45, 26 finer (1/10).
(#8605)
1724 1851-0 AU53 NGC. A small center ring rests atop the second
vertical shield stripe, as always seen on this New Orleans emission.
A straw-gold piece with pockets of shimmering luster and a good
strike save for the star centers. A pair of slender marks intersect on
the right (facing) side of Liberty’s neck. (#8607)
1725 1851-0—Sea Salvaged—ANACS. AU58 Details. Breen-6898.
The reverse with the distinctive hollow “ring” atop the left side of
the shield. Well-defined in the centers with minimal wear, though
the yellow-orange fields and the rubbed, softly struck stars show
the peculiar matte texture associated with saltwater exposure.
(#8607)
1726 1852 AU58 NGC. CAC. Strong central detail, though the stars
are softly struck. Numerous tiny abrasions and minor friction affect
the coin, lustrous with a yellow-gold obverse and a reverse with a
more orange cast. (#8608)
Bright Uncirculated No Motto 1853 Ten
1727 1853 MS61 NGC. No Motto eagles are challenging in Mint State,
and the 1853 is no exception. The bright surfaces display ample
luster, and the strike is crisp throughout. Scattered abrasions are
consistent with the grade. A trio of tiny spots are seen near the NIT
in UNITED. Census: 20 in 61, 9 finer (4/10). (#8610)

1728 1858 AU53 NGC. The notoriety of the 1858 is attributed to
legendary Fort Worth dealer B. Max Mehl, who extolled its rarity
whenever one appeared in his mid-20th century auctions. The
mintage of 2,521 pieces is the lowest of any No Motto Philadelphia
issues except for the 1863. Nobody collected business strike Liberty
eagles prior to the 1890s, and the typical survivor grades XF45.
NGC and PCGS combined have certified just five pieces as Mint
State. The present example has pleasing detail, and its remaining
luster has a slight rose-red tint. Minor marks are prevalent, but
there are no singular noteworthy abrasions. (#8625)
1729 1859 AU50 PCGS. Bold yellow-orange luster remains in the
fields, though the central devices exhibit distinct wear. Moderately
abraded on each side with a luster scrape noted to the left of
Liberty’s eye. Population: 13 in 50, 23 finer (4/10).(#8628)
1730 1868 XF45 NGC. Light wear across moderately abraded straw-gold
surfaces. Well struck for this Philadelphia issue with considerable
luster that flickers in the fields. (#8653)
Low-Mintage 1868 Ten Dollar, AU58
1731 1868 AU58 NGC. This low-mintage postbellum issue was
produced to the extent of a mere 10,665 pieces, but a fair number
have survived at the near-Mint level or below. This yellow-gold
piece shows some of the prooflike luster often seen on the issue,
although numerous abrasions occur on each side, more prominently
on the obverse. Census: 23 in 58, 1 finer (4/10). (#8653)
Pleasing 1868-S Eagle, AU53
1732 1868-S AU53 NGC. Most of the San Francisco gold coins from
the late 1860s and the 1870s are condition rarities. At the time
of issue, these coins entered circulation, unlike their Eastern
counterparts. The 1868-S eagle had a mintage of 13,500 coins, yet
the average certified grade is only about XF45. This piece is clearly
nicer, and it exhibits light green-gold surfaces with considerable
luster. Census: 19 in 53, 26 finer (5/10). (#8654)
Scarce 1868-S Ten Dollar, AU53
Unknown in Uncirculated
1733 1868-S AU53 NGC. The 1868-S ten has a low mintage of only
13,500 pieces, and a correspondingly low availability in all grades,
especially XF and AU. There are no Uncirculated pieces known. In
fact, the Smithsonian only has a VF30. The best a collector can do
is locate an AU with minimal problems. This piece has a surprising
amount of remaining luster around the devices. The strike is slightly
soft in the centers, as expected, and there are numerous small to
medium-sized abrasions peppered over each side. Census: 19 in 53,
26 finer (4/10). (#8654)

Original Near-Mint 1873 Closed 3 Eagle
Condition Census, Only 800 Made
1734 1873 Closed 3 AU58 NGC. Although this issue is called the 1873
Closed 3 (or Close 3), that is somewhat redundant, as all of the
issue is of the Close 3 variety. Garrett and Guth note that “there
are few eagles rarer than the 1873, Close 3” and that its mintage of
only 800 coins made it the “lowest of any eagle up until that time.”
(The 1875 through 1877 eagles that followed, however, all had
mintages that were even lower.)
This coin displays an original “old gold” appearance, with blue-
gray fields and reddish color overall giving it a two-toned, layered
appearance. The strike is sharp, producing no notable areas of
weakness. Numerous small to medium-sized marks dot the fields, the
most obvious in front of Liberty’s face. An essentially unimprovable
issue, as only one MS60 example at PCGS is certified finer. Census:
4 in 58, 0 finer (4/10). (#8666)
1735 1873-S VF35 PCGS. CAC. The yellow-gold obverse is lighter in
color than the orange-tinged reverse. Luminous and nicely detailed
with no singularly distracting abrasions. Very scarce, since few were
set aside from the low mintage of 12,000 pieces. Population: 6 in
35, 28 finer (5/10).
Ex: Baltimore ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2008), lot 3143, which
realized $2,070.(#8668)
1736 1880-CC AU50 PCGS. A low-mintage coin from the legendary
Western mint, made to the extent of only 11,190 pieces. This Almost
Uncirculated example has seen a short spate in the channels of
commerce, but much of the original luster is still present, over pleasing
yellow-orange surfaces. There are no major abrasions, although a
tiny toning spot occurs on the reverse under the eagle’s neck.
From The Williams Collection.(# 8688)
1737 1883-CC XF45 PCGS. Considerable reflective luster remains in
the fields of this yellow-orange example. Light wear is concentrated
at Liberty’s brown, and the surrounding fields show several abrasions.
A shallow field disturbance is noted to the left of Liberty’s face.
Population: 34 in 45, 52 finer (4/10).(#8700)
1738 1885-S MS63 PCGS. CAC. Better-defined than many with
orange overtones gracing yellow-gold surfaces with swirling, frosted
luster. A few tiny alloy spots are visible at the borders, but there
are few significant marks. This San Francisco issue is practically
unobtainable any finer, as PCGS has certified only one such coin
(4/10).(#8707)
1739 1885-S MS63 PCGS. One of many conditional rarities in the
Liberty eagle series, the 1885-S is fairly prevalent in MS61 and
MS62 but is surprisingly scarce at the Select level. This sharply
struck representative provides satin luster and lightly marked fields.
Population: 65 in 63, 1 finer (4/10).(#8707)
1740 1885-S MS63 PCGS. A beautifully but unusually toned coin, with
orange-gold at the obverse center competing with tinges of mint
and hazel nearer the rims. The reverse shows some darker charcoal
shades near the rim, which may be some struck-in die grease, as
made. Satiny luster complements a bold strike. Population: 66 in
63, 1 finer (5/10).
From The Williams Collection. (#8707)
1741 1887-S MS63 PCGS. CAC. The 1887-S is conditionally rare,
plentiful in bagmarked Uncirculated grades but an extreme rarity at
the MS64 level. The present piece has a pleasing reverse, and the
obverse field is smooth save for a mark near star 12. Population: 72
in 63, 2 finer (5/10).(#8711)
1742 1888-S MS63 NGC. CAC. Fully struck in the centers with just
the slightest softness present on the peripheral stars. Thick reddish-
tinted mint luster lends eye appeal, and there are no singularly
mentionable abrasions. Census: 61 in 63, 5 finer (4/10).(#8714)
1743 1889 AU53 NGC. Considerable prooflike reflectivity remains
in moderately abraded fields. Lightly worn with yellow-gold color
accented in peripheral alloy, most notably in an arc at the right
obverse and a dot above the eagle.(#8715)
Prooflike 1889 Eagle, Mint State
Low-Mintage Issue
1744 1889 MS60 Prooflike AN ACS. The 1889 eagle is one in a series
of low-mintage Liberty Head emissions of the 1870s and 1880s, in
this case 4,440 business strikes plus 45 proofs. This is an attractive
orange-gold piece with much prooflike luster on the surfaces that
creates considerable appeal, despite the numerous small abrasions
that pepper both sides. A single scratch on Liberty’s cheek is the
only abrasion that requires singular mention. A tiny copper alloy
spot appears at the rim near star 10. (#78715)
1745 1889-S MS63 PCGS. Impressively struck with bold, satiny luster.
Yellow and orange hues dominate the eye appeal of this faintly
abraded Select coin. PCGS has graded 16 finer examples (4/10).
(#8716)
1746 1890 MS62 PCGS. Luminous gold-orange surfaces show a touch
of satin. Only trifling striking weakness affects the lightly abraded
central devices. PCGS has graded 15 finer examples (4/10).
(#8717)
1747 1890-CC AU58 NGC. Luster dominates the borders and eagle of
this minimally abraded Borderline Uncirculated example. IN GOD
WE TRUST is lightly die doubled. Only 17,500 pieces were struck
for this elusive Carson City issue.
From The Williams Collection. (#8718)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 273
1748 1890-CC AU58 PCGS. This momentarily circulated and
minimally abraded eagle has nearly unbroken luster on the reverse.
Obverse luster dominates the periphery, hair, and coronet. The ‘90-
CC is much scarcer than its ‘91-CC successor, primarily due to a
mintage of just 17,500 pieces.(#8718)
Low Mintage 1891 Eagle, MS63
1749 1891 MS63 PCGS. The 1891 is a better date due to a low mintage
of 91,820 pieces. Uncirculated examples have returned from
foreign bank holdings in recent generations, but most such coins
are thoroughly abraded. The present lustrous coin has field scuffs
corresponding to its grade, but the only individually consequential
mark is relegated to the inner point of star 9. Population: 34 in 63,
3 finer (4/10). (#8719)
1750 1891-CC AU58 NGC. FS-501. The mintmark is prominently
repunched. Sharply impressed with remarkably reflective wheat-
gold surfaces. Numerous light abrasions are scattered in the fields,
but the devices show only minor evidence of friction on the high
points. (#87 20)
1751 1891-CC MS60 PCGS. The 1891-CC is the most available
Carson City eagle in Mint State, but prooflike examples are very
scarce. NGC has certified only 13 such pieces. PCGS does not
recognize the Prooflike designation on gold coins, but the present
example is obviously prooflike, although the flashy fields display
scattered small marks consistent with the grade. (#8720)
1752 1891-CC MS61 PCGS. CAC. Pale lemon-yellow color and
effusive luster. A sharply struck example of this Carson City issue
that presents well despite numerous minor abrasions and a few dots
of alloy on the reverse.(#8720)
1753 1891-CC MS61 NGC. Strongly struck with vibrant straw-gold
luster. An attractive Carson City eagle despite the distribute minor
marks that define the grade.
From The Williams Collection. (#8720)
1754 1891-CC MS61 NGC. FS-501. The mintmark is repunched east.
Luster fills the borders of this sharply impressed and moderately
marked canary-gold Carson City type coin.
From The Williams Collection. (#8720)
1755 1891-CC MS61 NGC. Boldly struck and lustrous with a slender
mark near star 5 and a hint of struck-in grease on the reverse. The
Carson City mintmark is elusive on Uncirculated Liberty eagles,
although a small quantity of ‘91-CC tens were apparently exported
to Europe and held as bank reserves.
From The Williams Collection. (#8720)
1756 1891-CC MS62 PCGS. CAC. Impressive straw-yellow and gold-
orange luster with light, scattered abrasions. While these flaws
preclude Select status, the overall visual appeal is solid for the
grade. PCGS has certified 63 finer examples (4/10). (#8720)
1757 1891-CC MS62 NGC. Strong yellow-gold surfaces have orange
overtones and flashy luster. Well-defined with numerous small
abrasions over each side and a more significant mark just above star
13 on the obverse.(#8720)
1759 1892-CC AU55 NGC. Luster outlines design elements of this
attractive Choice AU Carson City ten. IN GOD WE TRUST is
lightly die tripled, and doubling is obvious above the second T in
STATES. Scarcer than its ‘91-CC predecessor.
From The Williams Collection. (#8722)
1760 1893 MS63 Prooflike NGC. The sun-gold fields are reflective and
display only minor marks. The portrait is well struck and has only
moderate contact. An unusually flashy Liberty eagle. Census: 16 in
63 Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).
From The Williams Collection. (#78725)
1761 1894 MS62 Prooflike NGC. Flashy fields accompany nicely struck
devices. Scattered small abrasions on the obverse field correspond
to the grade. Census: 23 in 62 Prooflike, 11 finer (4/10).
From The Williams Collection. (#78729)
1762 1894-0 MS62 PCGS. The 1894^0 ten dollar can be located
through MS61, but becomes very scarce in MS62; it is rare any finer.
The yellow-gold surfaces of this MS62 example exhibit sharply
struck design motifs. Scattered small marks limit the grade, but not
the eye appeal. Population: 53 in 62, 18 finer (4/10).(#8730)
Impressive Gem 1897 Eagle
1763 1897 MS65 NGC. With just over a million pieces struck, the 1897
eagle is readily accessible in most grades, though Gem survivors
are understandably rare. This satiny beauty offers a range of colors
from yellow-gold to peach. The margins are softly struck, though
Liberty’s satiny figure is impressively detailed. Census: 19 in 65, 7
finer (4/10). (#8737)
1899 Ten Dollar, MS66
An Extraordinarily Lustrous and Colorful Type Coin
1764 1899 MS66 NGC. With a mintage of more than 1.2 million
pieces, the 1899 ten dollar is a popular and relatively available coin
for type purposes. It is generally found well struck and the mint
luster is terrific, as seen here on both counts. The mint frost has
rich pinkish-gold color with a strong presence of lilac intermixed.
While available in lower grades, the 1899 is not as obtainable in
MS66 condition. Census: 22 in 66, 4 finer (5/10). (#8742)
1758 1891 -CC MS62 PCGS. CAC. A boldly struck canary-gold Carson
City type coin with ample luster and no more than the customary
number of small distributed abrasions.(#8720)

Unimprovable 1900 Ten Dollar, MS66
1765 1900 MS66 NGC. A simply stunning survivor from this turn-
of-the-century ten dollar issue, one of five MS66 coins in the
combined certified population with none finer (4/10). The strike
is almost uniformly sharp, with only trifling softness visible on a
handful of the obverse stars. While both sides show several small
marks and luster grazes, aside from two such minor flaws in the
right obverse field, these are unobtrusive. Strong, slightly satiny
apricot-gold luster completes the remarkable eye appeal. An ideal
selection for the high-end date collector. (#8745)
1766 1901-0 MS62 PCGS. New Orleans Motto eagles are known for
low mintages and conditional rarity above the MS62 level. The
present unmarked O-mint type coin has sweeping luster and is well
struck aside from the final two stars. (#8748)
1767 1901-S MS64 NGC. CAC. Sharply struck with inviting yellow-
gold luster. Smooth surfaces for the grade show a touch of satin
and suggestions of haze, indicative of possible long-term storage.
(#8749)
1768 1901-S MS64 ANACS. Boldly struck with fantastic luster. A
minimally abraded near-Gem with rich yellow-gold outer color and
paler straw-gold at the centers.(#8749)
Appealing MS64 1902 Ten Dollar
1769 1902 MS64 PCGS. The lowest-mintage Philadelphia Liberty eagle
issue of the 20th century, represented here by a boldly lustrous near-
Gem. Sharply struck devices share their yellow-orange coloration
with the fields, as well as overtones of peach. Light scrapes on
Liberty’s portrait and across the reverse contribute to the grade.
Population: 25 in 64, 3 finer (4/10). (#8750)
1770 1903-0 MS63 NGC. Strong orange-gold overtones grace surfaces
that appear straw-yellow at a different angle. Lightly abraded overall
with a solid strike and considerable eye appeal for this New Orleans
issue. Census: 56 in 63, 8 finer (4/10). (#8753)
1771 1904-0 MS62 PCGS. A minimally abraded and lustrous example
of this conditionally elusive New Orleans emission. The butter-gold
fields and devices exude exemplary eye appeal for the designated
grade. (#8756)
1772 1906 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Well struck except for the wingtips.
Lustrous and attractive with green-gold color and a well preserved
reverse. A relatively low mintage makes the 1906 a moderately
better date at the MS63 level. (#8 759)
Lustrous MS64 1906-S Ten Dollar
1773 1906-S MS64 NGC. The scarcity of this issue is greater than the
mintage of nearly a half-million coins would lead one to surmise,
and in the MS64 grade of this coin, it is a decidedly rare item. The
flashy apricot-gold surfaces on this near-Gem offer plenty of pizzazz,
a combination of radiant luster, a bold strike, and excellent eye
appeal. Census: 6 in 64, 2 finer (4/10). (#8762)
1774 1907 MS64 PCGS. Potent luster brightens this well impressed and
attractively preserved final year Liberty gold type coin. Housed in a
green label holder. PCGS has certified only 12 pieces finer (4/10).
(#8763)
1775 1907-S MS62 PCGS. The 1900-S, 1905-S, and 1907-S are three
rarest Liberty tens from their decade of production. Each issue is
desirable at the MS62 level. The present apricot-gold representative
has sweeping luster and a bold strike. A bagmark above the eagle’s
left (facing) shoulder precludes a higher grade. Population: 41 in
62, 24 finer (5/10).(#8765)

PROOF LIBERTY EAGLES
Possibly Finest 1883 Eagle, PR65 Ultra Cameo
1776 1883 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. As a class, proof gold coins are
the rarest of the rare, with mintages limited in most cases to a few
dozen coins per year, and survival rates are usually quite low. For
example, the Philadelphia Mint coined 49 proof eagles in 1883,
and today probably just 15 to 20 of those coins survive. Among
the known 1883 proof eagles are the Carter, Bass, Trompeter,
Starr, Garrett, ANS, and Smithsonian specimens. In addition to
those seven coins, we have only located another dozen auction
appearances over the past two decades.
This example from the Amon Carter Collection may be the finest
known. NGC and PCGS have graded a total of 16 proof 1883 eagles,
and two NGC PR65 Ultra Cameo pieces, including this specimen
from the Carter Collection, are at the top of the charts (5/10).
In 1984, Stack’s wrote about this piece:
“A beautiful, deep yellow-green example with cloudy ton¬
ing. A few tiny marks on the chin and some very faint lint
marks. Another date lacking in the Eliasberg Collection.
There is no doubt that the rarity of these Proofs in the
1880’s belies how many coins were struck. Most were prob¬
ably never distributed.”
This gorgeous Gem exhibits deeply mirrored fields with
highly lustrous yellow-gold devices. The fields have a faint watery
appearance, typical of most 19th century proof gold pieces. All
design elements on both sides are exceptionally bold. Every
aspect of this piece is incredible, and the overall eye appeal is first-
rate. Here is a great opportunity for the proof gold collector.
Ex: Amon Carter (Stack’s, 1/1984), lot 778. (#98823)

Fascinating Lightly Circulated
1899 Proof Eagle, PR55
Splendid 1907 No Periods Eagle, MS64
1777 1899 PR55 NGC. The mintage of this proof eagle issue was only
86 pieces, but this example was apparently spent at some point.
Was this piece spent by a collector down on his/her luck in the
Panic of 1907, or was it a Depression-era grocery-buyer? If only this
coin could talk ... like so many others. The proof status is justified
by the considerable prooflikeness remaining on the lightly marked
surfaces, but it is confirmed by the repunching on the base of the 1
and “microscopically” on the bottom of the 8, as cited in the Breen
Proof Encyclopedia. The surfaces are golden-yellow overall and well-
struck, and a small reverse planchet flaw—as made, but perhaps an
incentive for circulation—appears around TA. It is interesting to
note that this is one of two proofs so certified at NGC, with but 4
finer—one in PR60, three in PR65 (4/10). (#8839)
Rare Proof 1899 Liberty Ten
1784 1908 No Motto MS62 PCGS Secure. Softly struck through the
centers but with no trace of wear. Pale straw-gold centers give
way to richer yellow color at the moderately abraded margins.
(#8853)
Delightful Gem 1908-D Motto Eagle
1778 1899 PR60 NGC. A mere 86 ten dollar proofs were issued in
1899, and given the high face value, a number of pieces were
undoubtedly spent during the early decades of the 20th century. The
present specimen retains much of its initial reflectivity, particularly
throughout the borders and within LIBERTY and the shield. The
open fields exhibit the distributed small marks associated with non-
numismatic storage. (#8839)
INDIAN EAGLES
1779
1780
1781
1782
1783 1907 No Periods MS64 PCGS. CAC. This is a splendid near-
Gem example of this issue, by far the most widely available of the
three first-year Indian eagle varieties and therefore in great demand
for type sets. The high points of each side are yellow- and orange-
gold, with glints of jade in the fields. Copious luster shines forth,
and only a few stray, undistracting ticks appear to preclude an even
finer grade. (#8852)
1907 No Periods MS62 NGC. This sun-gold ten dollar piece
exhibits booming luster, and the highpoints exhibit no signs of
friction. Surprisingly unabraded for the designated grade, despite a
solitary curved line on the reverse rim at 12:30.(#8852)
1907 No Periods MS62 NGC. Pale straw-gold and yellow shadings
overall with a small alloy spot at the upper left obverse. Radiant but
softly struck with a single significant abrasion on Liberty’s cheek
that largely determines the grade. (#885 2)
1907 No Periods MS62 NGC. This khaki-gold first-year Indian
ten exhibits sweeping luster and a good strike. Minimally abraded
for the designated grade despite a few inconspicuous marks on the
left obverse field. (#885 2)
1907 No Periods MS62+ PCGS Secure. This well struck and
satiny introductory year Indian eagle has moderate field marks
but lacks the detracting bagmarks typically seen on Uncirculated
survivors of the issue. (#885 2)
1785 1908-D Motto MS65 PCGS Secure. The 1908-D has an
unimpressive mintage of 836,500 pieces. It appears, though, that
an attempt was made to actually place much of the production
into the channels of commerce as there are at least 300 pieces in
circulated grades (most AU58). At the other end of the grading
spectrum, only 16 Gems have been certified (13 by PCGS and 3 by
NGC), with 19 finer (4/10). This piece shows the same fine-grain
texture noted on the Morse coin, but the surfaces are uniformly
bright with attractive yellow-gold color. The striking details are
strong throughout, and there are no obvious or detracting marks on
either side. (#8860)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 277
MS66 1908-D Motto Ten Dollar
Radiant Mint Luster
1786 1908-D Motto MS66 NGC. Although the 1908-D Motto eagle
has one of the highest mintage figures in the series at 836,500
business strikes, it is nearly as elusive in the higher Mint State
grades at its No Motto counterpart, which had a mintage only one-
fourth as large. NGC has certified only six other coins in MS66, but
three pieces in MS67 and one finer (5/10). The present Premium
Gem boasts glorious luster radiating from orange-gold surfaces
that are nearly mark-free. The strike is bold throughout, and the
eye appeal is exemplary. This splendid coin would be a wonderful
acquisition for a gold type set of the finest quality. (#8860)
1787 1908-S AU58 PCGS. Fewer than 60,000 1908-S eagles were
struck, and given the conditional scarcity of San Francisco Indian
tens, it is little wonder that the 1908-S is coveted even in lightly
circulated grades. The present unblemished piece has essentially
full luster, and friction is difficult to find, even when the highpoints
are examined beneath a loupe. (#8861)
1788 1908-S AU58 NGC. A mintage of 59,850 pieces ensures better
date status for this first-year Indian ten. A whisper of wear on the
left edge of the wing indicates momentary circulation, but luster
sweeps across both sides. (#8861)
1789 1909 MS62 NGC. Frosty lemon-yellow surfaces with dynamic
luster on both sides. This Indian ten is sharply defined with
excellent eye appeal. Marks are surprisingly few and unimportant

Scarce Gem 1909 Ten Dollar
1790 1909 MS65 NGC. The 1909 ten dollar is an obtainable issue in the
lower grades of Uncirculated. However, most examples are clustered
in the MS62-63 grade range, and there is a noticeable drop-off in
successively higher grades. This is a softly frosted example that
displays the usual matte-like surfaces. There are no reportable
marks on either side, and the color is a moderate reddish-gold with
some underlying olive. (#8862)

Wonderfully Lustrous 1909 Ten Dollar, MS 66
1791 1909 MS66 PCGS. Despite an original mintage more than
triple that of the 1908-S eagle—184,700 pieces versus 59,850—
the 1909 eagle in Gem or finer grades is actually a bit more
elusive than the 1908-S. In MS66 the present coin is among
nine pieces so certified at PCGS, and only one example is
graded finer (4/10). In the 2008 second edition of A Handbook of
20th Century United States Gold Coins 1907-1933 , David Akers
comments, “The 1909 is one of the scarcer Philadelphia Mint
issues in the Indian Eagle series. Coins that grade MS-60 to
MS-63 are not too difficult to locate, but MS-64s are scarce and
Gems are quite rare. Superb Gems are much rarer than those of
the 1908 No Motto and 1908-S, although a few exquisite 1909
Eagles do exist. This is a grossly underrated issue, particularly in
the finer Mint State grades.”
The surfaces of this wonderful Premium Gem are highly
frosted and incredibly appealing, with glowing luster and an
essential absence of contact marks or other distractions. A
small alloy spot appears near the rim at 8 o’clock, but is hardly
distracting. The coloration is a glorious mix of reddish-gold and
greenish-gold, it is hard to pinpoint just where each color is
they are so intermixed on each side. The real selling point for
this coin is the luster. If “luster is the life of a coin” then this
coin has plenty of life. The bold strike and over-the-top eye
appeal complete a package that is nearly unimprovable. (#8862)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 279
1792 1909-D MS61 PCGS. A green-gold example of this lower mintage
and conditionally rare Denver issue. Hints of sea-green and orange
intermingle throughout lustrous surfaces. A few minor marks on the
jaw, but nonetheless attractive for the MS61 level.(#8863)
1799 1912 MS62 NGC. This unabraded Indian ten exhibits vibrant
luster. Since the eye appeal is excellent, the grade is held back only
by the device highpoints, which lack absolute design detail.
From The Williams Collection. (#8871)
Two-Toned 1909-D Eagle, MS62
1793 1909-D MS62 NGC. The mintage of the 1909-D eagles was a
modest 121,540 pieces but they are largely unappreciated, due to
their proximity to the 1911-D, of which only 30,100 were made.
The 1909-D is somewhat available in Mint State but rare at the
Gem level. The present specimen boasts lots of eye appeal over
two-toned orange-gold and green-gold surfaces. The fine-grained
surfaces are somewhat mattelike, with clear but subdued luster,
and numerous scattered marks—mostly light, except for a couple
of scrapes on the reverse in the right field—account for the grade.
(#8863)
1794 1910 MS64 NGC. A charming green-gold Choice Indian ten that
has coruscating luster and an absence of relevant abrasions. Nicely
struck, and a good value relative to finer grades.(#8865)
1795 1910-D MS63 NGC. Strongly lustrous with a mix of pale yellow-
gold and bolder sun-orange colors. Lightly abraded overall but well
struck and fundamentally pleasing. (#8866)
1796 1910-D MS64 PCGS. Pale yellow-gold color dominates the
shining centers, while the margins offer slightly deeper color.
Liberty’s cheek is clean, though a luster scrape is noted just to the
left of her mouth. (#8866)
1797 1911 MS62 PCGS. Vibrant luster and green-gold toning ensure
the eye appeal of this nicely struck Indian ten. The reverse is well
preserved, and moderate marks are limited to the lower left obverse
quadrant. Housed in a green label holder.
From The Williams Collection.(#8868)
Notable Near-Mint 1911-D Ten Dollar
1798 1911-D AU58 PCGS. Better-defined than usually seen with just
a touch of rub across the highest design elements. Still-lustrous
yellow-gold fields have dusky overtones. A single significant
abrasion is noted just to the left of Liberty’s nose. Overall, an
attractive near-Mint representative of this challenging and low-
mintage issue. (#8869)
Eye-Appealing 1913-S Eagle, Near-Mint State
1800 1913-S AU58 PCGS. This low-mintage issue was produced to the
tune of only 66,000 coins, and most survivors are lightly circulated.
The present example displays apricot-gold coloration over lustrous
surfaces that show just a trace of rub on the Indian’s cheek, the high
point of the hair, and the forward edge of the eagle’s wing. There
are no mentionable abrasions on this eye-appealing coin. (#8874)
1801 1914 MS63 NGC. Bold yellow-gold luster and strong detail at
the often-weak hair over Liberty’s ear. Great eye appeal for the
Select designation, though close inspection reveals scattered wispy
abrasions.(#8875)
1802 1914 MS63 NGC. Booming luster and modestly abraded surfaces
supply the strong eye appeal for this well-defined eagle. A pleasing
Select example of an underrated issue. (#88 75)
Sharp 1915 Indian Eagle, MS64+
With CAC Green Label
1803 1915 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. This is a coin that approaches
the Gem level according to the PCGS Plus grade, a level where this
relatively available issue becomes more elusive. Even so, examples
are found certified at PCGS all the way up to MS67+. This piece
is sharply struck, as always seen on the issue, with radiant luster
over amber-gold surfaces. A few minor surface ticks on Liberty’s
lower cheek and jaw, and the obverse field nearby, preclude the
Gem grade. Population: 1 in 64+, 43 in 65, 7 finer (4/10). (#8878)
1804 1915-S AU55 NGC. The portrait and eagle show minor
highpoint wear, but luster is nonetheless extensive, and the fields
are impressively free from abrasions. A scant 59,000 pieces were
struck, and survivors provide excellent value at the Choice AU
level. (#8879)

Affordable 1920-S Indian Ten, AU Details
1805 1920-S—Harshly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU. This issue is
one of the three key rarities in the With Motto Indian eagle series,
along with the 1930-S and 1933. The 1920-S and 1930-S tens are
rare in any grade, and the 1933 is seldom available below Mint
State, where it is a major rarity in 20th century numismatics.
Abrasive cleaning lines are visible in the left obverse field and
on the Indian’s face, with lighter lines over the balance of the
obverse. The reverse has a more natural appearance with light
hairlines. Despite the surface imperfections, both sides retain some
of the natural mint luster, especially on the reverse. This is an
important opportunity for the collector who seeks an example of
the 1920-S ten with a minimal financial outlay. (#8881)
Glorious 1926 Eagle, MS66
1806 1926 MS66 NGC. Glorious coloration over pristine surfaces is
the hallmark of this splendid Premium Gem coin, with mint-green
accents near the rims blending with canary-yellow and reddish-
orange glints on the high points of each side. A well-struck example
with a few light abrasions consistent with the grade. The 1926
eagle coinage is an excellent choice for type collectors seeking an
alternative to the ubiquitous 1932 issue. Census: 53 in 66, 0 finer
(4/10). (#8882)
1807 1932 MS64 PCGS. Booming luster dominates this lightly abraded
butter-gold near-Gem. The strike is unassailable. The 1932 is the
only affordable gold issue of any denomination from the 1930s,
as most pieces struck that decade never left Treasury vaults.
(#8884)
1808 1932 MS64 NGC. CAC. Frosty sun-yellow luster dominates
the eye appeal of this well struck near-Gem. Neither side shows
any individually significant abrasions, making it ideal for the type
collector.(#8884)
1809 1932 MS64 NGC. This lustrous and crisply stuck example is
kept from Gem status only by a solitary small bagmark on the
eagle’s wing. Sun-gold throughout except for a small cherry-red
area beneath Liberty’s jaw. Encased in a former generation holder.
(#8884)
1810 1932 MS64+ PCGS Secure. Wonderfully attractive for a Choice
coin with frosty yellow-gold luster. Though a combination of small
marks and luster grazes leave this piece just shy of the next finer
grade, the eye appeal is wonderful. (#8884)
LIBERTY DOUBLE EAGLES
Lustrous AU58 1850 Twenty
First Year of Issue
1811 1850 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Because of the scarcity of Uncirculated
1850 twenties, this CAC AU58 example makes a great deal of
sense for many collectors. In our opinion, the unique 1849 twenty
is really a pattern, making the 1850 the effective first year of issue.
This piece has distinctive green-gold color and significant amounts
of remaining mint luster with semireflective fields on each side. A
number of small to medium-sized abrasions are scattered about, the
most distinctive in the left obverse field. Population: 32 in 58, 69
finer (4/10). (#8902)
Borderline Uncirculated 1850 Twenty
1812 1850 AU58 PCGS. The first collectible Philadelphia double eagle
is rare in Uncirculated grades, although XF and AU examples can
be located with little difficulty. This honey-gold representative has
full design detail although luster is confined to the borders, legends,
and devices. The scattered abrasions are customary for lightly
circulated large denomination gold coins. (#8902)
1813 1850-0 XF45 PCGS. Sun-gold and peach fields accompany the
olive-green devices. The central detail is pleasing despite light wear,
and though each side shows a mix of minor marks and abrasions,
these flaws have little impact on the overall eye appeal. Population:
57 in 45, 59 finer (5/10).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2009), lot 3921, which
realized $7,245. (#8903)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 281
Lustrous Near-Mint 1853 Twenty
1814 1853 AU58 NGC. CAC. The 1853 is a relatively available Type
One in circulated grades. Prices escalate sharply above the AU58
level, which is what makes this such an appeal type coin. The
surfaces are deep orange-gold and there is a surprising amount of
mint luster remaining on each side. Numerous small to medium¬
sized abrasions are scattered over each side. (#8908)
Scarce 1853/2 Twenty, AU58 Details
1815 1853/2—Cleaned—ANACS. AU58 Details. Breen-7162,
FS-301. The die lump beneath the R in LIBERTY is diagnostic.
A hairlined and slightly bright representative of this elusive Guide
Book variety. Mint luster is substantial, especially on the reverse.
Minor field and facial marks are scattered. (#8909)
Choice AU 1855-S Twenty
An Affordable Type One
1817 1855-S AU55 PCGS. CAC. The 1855-S is one of the more
available Type One twenties, primarily because of the number
of examples found on the S.S. Central America and S.S. Republic
shipwrecks. This piece does not indicate if it originated from one
of those hoards. The surfaces retain good amounts of luster around
the devices, and each side has the numerous small to medium¬
sized marks this issue is known for. The most prominent marks
are located in the field below star 13. The color is dusky gold with
darker accents over the high points. Well struck. (#8916)
1818 1856-S XF45 PCGS. At first glance this piece appears finer, but
a loupe reveals some scattered scrapes and ticks from a fairly short
stay in circulation. Some faded prooflike luster appears in places,
and pretty orange-gold coloration complements greenish-gold
glints. One of the first double eagle issues from the historic San
Francisco Mint, which opened two years previous to this issue.
(#8919)
1819 1856-S AU55 NGC. The large mintage, as well as the tragedy of
the sinking of the S.S. Central America, are both responsible for the
relative availability today of this issue. It is also a popular issue as a
Western frontier S-mint. Much luster radiates from this Choice AU
piece, and each side has only a few noticeable marks.
Ex: Houston Signature (Heritage, 12/2009), lot 1883, which realized
$2,990. (#8919)
Choice XF 1854-S Double Eagle
1816 1854-S XF45 NGC. A still-lustrous double eagle from the San
Francisco Mint’s first year of operation, pale yellow-gold with a
suggestion of silver-green. Well struck with light wear across the
high points and scattered abrasions on obverse and reverse. The
latter side also shows a pair of parallel digs just below the eagle’s
right (facing) wing. (#8913)
Challenging AU58 1857 Double Eagle
1820 1857 AU58 NGC. CAC. While this date’s San Francisco issue has
become an iconic type coin, the Philadelphia 1857 twenty remains
challenging in better circulated grades and genuinely scarce in Mint
State. This near-Mint coin has considerable yellow-orange luster
with slightly darker outlines around the central devices. Modestly
abraded with just a touch of rub at the high points. (#8920)

1857 Liberty Double Eagle, MS60
Challenging Issue in Mint State
1821 1857 MS60 PCGS. The 1857 Liberty Head double eagle is easy
to locate in circulated grades, but the issue is quite challenging
in Mint State. The popularity of this date has increased in recent
years because of the presence of its S-mint counterpart in the
S.S. Central America find. The present coin is well detailed with
lustrous surfaces. A scattering of handling marks on the obverse,
particularly on Liberty’s neck and jaw, explain the grade. (#8920)
1822 1857-S AU53 NGC. Lightly worn with moderate abrasions,
though the pale yellow-gold luster remains strong for the grade,
particularly on the reverse. An accessible circulated example of this
now-famous San Francisco issue.(#8922)
Richly Colored Near-Mint 1857-S Double Eagle
1823 1857-S AU58 PCGS. Although this coin is not attributed to the
S.S. Central America hoard, it bears a strong resemblance to those
survivors, with bold luster and lovely, rich reddish-gold coloration.
Only faint high-point rub separates this piece from a Mint State
grade, and abrasions are minimal. An attractive example of this
historic issue. (#8922)
Butter-Gold 185 7-S Double Eagle, AU58
Ex: S.S. Central America
1824 1857-S No Serif, High S AU58 PCGS. Variety 20G. Ex: S.S.
Central America. SSCA 2037. This butter-gold near-Mint double
eagle has ample luster and no distracting marks. It slumbered on
the bed of the Atlantic Ocean for some 130 years before eventually
reaching collector hands. The lot is accompanied by a forest-green
box from David Hall’s North American Trading, a faux book on
the S.S. Central America, and a certificate of authenticity signed
by deep sea salvager Tommy Thompson of the Columbus-America
Discovery Group. (#8922)
1858-0 Twenty Dollar, AU53
Scarce Antebellum O-Mint Issue
1825 1858-0 AU53 NGC. Not all of the freshly dug California gold from
the Gold Rush days made its way to San Francisco or Philadelphia.
A considerable portion of the precious metal also found its way to
the antebellum New Orleans Mint for coinage. The pre-Civil War
years were an era that in many ways was the mint’s heyday. After the
war, even though it would limp along for another 44 years, it would
never fully recover from problems both structural and political.
The 1857-0 and 1858-0 double eagles have similar mintages
and rarity today. The 1858-0 was produced to the extent of 35,250
coins, most of which circulated. AU examples are quite scarce,
and Mint State coins are rare. This piece offers bright yellow-gold
surfaces that are remarkably clean and lustrous for the grade. The
bold strike produces full centrils on all the stars. Minor luster loss
indicates a short spate in circulation, but the eye appeal is strong.
Census: 35 in 53, 53 finer (4/10). (#8924)
Intriguing AU55 1858-S Twenty
1826 1858-S AU55 PCGS. Bright straw-gold luster remains on this
challenging S-mint double eagle despite a measure of wear across
the high points. Extensive light abrasions contribute to the
technical grade but have little impact on the eye appeal, save for a
small cluster to the left of Liberty’s forehead. Population: 44 in 55,
42 finer (4/10). (#8925)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 283
1827 1859-S XF45 NGC. Softly struck as usually seen, though the level
of detail is considerable for an XF-range piece. Both sides show
light cuts, and a rim disturbance appears at around 1 o’clock on the
obverse. Soft luster on the obverse is more flashy on the reverse.
(#8928)
Uncirculated 1860 Double Eagle
An Attainable Type One Issue
1828 1860 MS61 PCGS. Although hardly a common date, this issue
(with a mintage of nearly 600,000 pieces) is one of the more
attainable Philadelphia Mint Type One double eagles in mint
condition. It is much scarcer than the 1861 issue, the most plentiful
of Type One twenty from this Mint. The peach-gold surfaces of this
example display traces of light tan color on portions of the central
devices, and exhibit some grade-limiting contact marks and scuffs
on Liberty’s face and neck and in the left obverse field. All of the
design elements reveal relatively strong definition. Population: 24
in 61, 17 finer (4/10). (#8929)
Historic 1863-S Twenty, Choice AU
1829 1863-S AU55 PCGS. This is a historic Liberty Head twenty
issue on two counts—from the first decade of coinage at the San
Francisco Mint and from a large production midway through the
Civil War. Light high-point wear and a few moderate abrasions,
more prominent on the obverse, point to a short spate in circulation,
but considerable luster and appeal are present. Population: 73 in 55,
91 finer (4/10). (#8940)
Impressive AU58+ 1866 Motto Twenty
1830 1866 AU58+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Though it has just a touch
too much rub on the back of Liberty’s head to pass for Mint State,
this first-year Motto double eagle offers virtually intact luster in
the yellow-gold fields. Liberty’s face shows light abrasions, as do
the fields, and reed marks are noted just above the 66 in the date.
Still, a remarkably appealing example that would fit well in a better
circulated set. PCGS has certified only 21 coins as strictly Mint
State (4/10). (#8949)
Shining MS61 1867 Twenty
1831 1867 MS61 NGC. CAC. A shining Mint State example of
this popular Type Two twenty, well struck with bright yellow-
gold surfaces that show dots of greenish alloy on the obverse and
the peripheral reverse. Shallow abrasions and a handful of luster
scrapes are present on each side, the most prominent of which is on
Liberty’s upper hair. NGC has graded 38 numerically finer pieces
(4/10). (#8951)
1867 Liberty Head Double Eagle, MS62
Sharply Struck, Lustrous Surfaces
1832 1867 MS62 PCGS. The 1867 double eagle is the earliest date of
the denomination to surface in quantity in European hoards. As
a result, the issue is not too difficult to locate in lower Mint State
grades, and enjoys some popularity as a type coin. Examples in
higher grades are extremely rare. The present coin is sharply struck
and lustrous, with pleasing green-gold color. Population: 32 in 62, 1
finer (5/10). (#8951)
Attractive 1868-S Twenty, AU55
1833 1868-S AU55 NGC. A common theme among San Francisco
double eagles of the 1860s to 1880s is the combination of high
mintages and low survival rates. Nearly every coin minted in those
years entered circulation, being worn, damaged, or melted. This
piece is far finer than the typical example that grades less than
AU50. It has faint pink overtones on green-gold surfaces with
considerable luster. Light abrasions are typical for these coins.
From The Williams Collection. (#8954)

1870 Liberty Double Eagle, AU50
Lustrous Surfaces
1834 1870 AU50 PCGS. Traces of luster reside in the protected areas
of the peach-gold surfaces tinted with hints of light tan, slightly
deeper on the reverse. The design elements are generally well
defined. A few small surface and rim marks are visible on each
side. Housed in a green insert holder. Population: 25 in 50, 86 finer
(4/10). (#8957)
Lovely AU53 1872-CC Twenty
1835 1872-CC AU53 PCGS. The 1872-CC is the first Carson City
double eagle to be accessible to a range of collectors, though better
circulated examples such as this AU53 coin are elusive and priced
accordingly. Mildly reflective yellow-gold surfaces retain a surprising
level of luster, and while numerous minor marks are present on each
side, there are only a few flaws that are more serious. Population: 26
in 53, 52 finer (4/10). (#8964)
1873 Liberty Double Eagle, MS63
Popular Open 3 Type Coin
1836 1873 Open 3 MS63 PCGS. The 1873 Open 3 double eagle is the
easiest Type Two twenty to locate, making the issue the number-
one choice for type collectors. Most examples seen are in worn
condition, and the issue is scarce at the Choice level. The present
coin is well struck, with a little softness on the central devices.
Mint luster is satiny, and a little subdued. (#8967)
Choice AU 1873-CC Double Eagle
1837 1873-CC AU55 NGC. Depending on the authority, either the
1872-CC or 1873-CC is the first Carson City double eagle issue to
be readily accessible to collectors on a variety of budgets, though
better circulated examples such as this Choice AU coin are in
perpetually high demand. Yellow-orange surfaces are surprisingly
radiant with minor alloy at the upper obverse, and while the
devices are softly struck, there is little evidence of actual wear.
Wispy abrasions, including one in the space above Liberty’s head,
and scattered minor marks also contribute to the grade.
From The Williams Collection. (#8968)
1838 1874-CC—Improperly Cleaned—NCS. AU Details. Careful
rotation of this Type Two Carson City twenty reveals vertical
obverse hairlines. Bagmarks are moderate despite a cluster on
the field beneath the right (facing) wingtip. Luster individually
outlines each obverse star.(#8971)
Bright AU55 1874-CC Twenty
1839 1874-CC AU55 PCGS. A brightly lustrous yellow-gold example
of this Type Two Carson City double eagle issue. Minor wear visits
the devices, while the fields are moderately abraded and the central
design elements show a number of small digs. Despite these flaws,
it remains a high-grade representative of a challenging date, sure to
be attractive to collectors. PCGS has graded 53 finer pieces (4/10).
(#8971)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 285
1874-CC Twenty, AU55
Vibrant Mint Luster
1840 1874-CC AU55 PCGS. CAC. The 1874'CC double eagle is
a relatively available issue from the fabled Carson City Mint,
although it is not common in the absolute sense. The issue becomes
scarce at the AU55 level. The present specimen is remarkable for
its vibrant luster and intense visual appeal. Only slight wear shows
on the high points of the design. Population: 71 in 55, 53 finer
(5/10). (#8971)
1874-CC Double Eagle, AU55
Popular Type Coin
1841 1874-CC AU55 NGC. Variety 1-A. The only dies for the date.
From a relatively generous mintage of 115,085 pieces, the 1874'
CC double eagle is one of the more available Carson City issues
and a popular choice for type collectors. Doug Winter estimates a
surviving population of 1,500-2,000 examples in all grades, with
580-710 specimens extant in AU. The present coin shows light
wear on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s head, with much original
luster remaining, and a scattering of insignificant handling marks.
From The Williams Collection. (#8971)
1842 1874-S MS60 NGC. This yellow-gold Type Two twenty has
substantial luster and the expected number of surface grazes. MS60
may be the ideal grade to purchase the 1874-S, since MS62 examples
are costly and the issue is essentially unobtainable any finer.
From The Williams Collection. (#8972)
Lustrous AU 1875-CC Twenty
1843 1875-CC AU50 NGC. Pale straw-gold and yellow shadings mingle
on this lightly worn twenty, still-lustrous with small digs on the
portrait and in the nearby fields. While the 1875-CC double eagle
boasts a six-figure mintage and a considerable certified population,
the appeal of Carson City gold keeps the issue in constant demand.
(#8974)
1844 1875-CC AU50 NGC. A relatively abundant mintage makes the
1875-CC one of the more available CC-mint With Motto double
eagle issues. This lustrous piece boasts lovely apricot-gold color
with lots of eye appeal and few mentionable abrasions. A nice
example from the historic Western mint.
From The Williams Collection. (#8974)
1845 1876 MS61 NGC. Heavy Motto. Honey-gold surfaces display a faint
greenish cast, possess ample luster, and exhibit nicely struck design
elements. Small to moderate marks are scattered over each side.
From The Williams Collection. (#8976)
1846 1876-CC XF45 NGC. This Centennial-year Carson City type
coin has ample luminous luster, which is especially prominent
on the reverse. Marks are scattered but generally inoffensive,
although a few brief pinscratches are noted beneath obverse star
11.(#8977)
Charming Choice AU 1876-CC Twenty Dollar
1847 1876-CC AU55 NGC. The CC mintmark and Centennial date
should make this issue doubly appealing for many collectors,
and its obvious charms should further broaden its appeal. Lots of
prooflike luster appears over orange-peach surfaces with darker
high points. A loupe reveals quite a few light abrasions, none
singular save for a patch of scrapes underneath RI in AMERICA.
From The Williams Collection. (#8977)
Mint State 1876-CC Double Eagle
1848 1876-CC MS60 NGC. The issue of 1876 marks the zenith of
Carson City’s double eagle coinage, with 138,441 pieces struck and
a number surviving in impressive condition today. This example
is strictly Mint State with watery reflectivity in the margins.
Numerous light to moderate abrasions pepper yellow-gold surfaces
that also show scattered alloy spots and grease marks close to the
rims. (#8977)

Richly Colored 1877 Twenty, MS62
First-Year Type Three Issue
1849 1877 MS62 PCGS. An uncommonly attractive example of this
first Type Three double eagle issue that is well-defined with subtle
lilac accents against vivid orange-gold surfaces enlivened by strong
luster. Wispy abrasions and light, scattered marks preclude Select
status, yet the overall eye appeal is solid. PCGS has certified just 14
finer pieces (5/10). (#8982)
Orange-Gold Choice XF 1877-CC Twenty Dollar
1850 1877-CC XF45 NGC. The first Type Three CC-mint double
eagle, the 1877-CC was produced to the extent of only 42,565
coins. This Choice XF example is in a typical grade for survivors,
with a modicum of luster remaining on the orange-gold surfaces. A
few moderate abrasions are in keeping with the grade.
From The Williams Collection. (#8983)
1854 1878-CC AU55 NGC. Luster emerges from the straw-gold
surfaces, especially on the reverse. Diverse abrasions are appropriate
for the denomination and brief circulation. Die lines on Liberty’s
neck and near TWENTY DOLLARS are as made and diagnostic
of this difficult low mintage Carson City issue. Census: 43 in 55, 37
finer (4/10). (#8986)
Conditionally Scarce 1878-S Twenty, MS62
1855 1878-S MS62 NGC. Despite a large mintage that approached 2
million coins, the 1878-S is an important condition rarity in the
Liberty double eagle series. This boldly detailed piece has brilliant
yellow luster with a single dark blemish above Liberty’s head. While
available from time to time in MS62, the 1878-S is rarely seen any
finer. NGC has only graded nine finer examples, and PCGS has
only certified seven better ones. (#8987)
1851 1877-S MS61 PCGS. This first year Type Three twenty has
vibrant luster and lovely green-gold color. As is customary for the
grade and denomination, the obverse displays scattered abrasions.
(#8984)
1852 1878 MS61 PCGS. A sharply struck and lustrous khaki-gold
twenty with relatively lightly abraded fields and a few typical
bagmarks on Liberty’s face. The 1878 is somewhat scarce in Mint
State, and is rare above MS62.(#8985)
1853 1878-CC VF30 NGC. The 1874'CC, 1875-CC, and 1876-
CC each had mintages of more than 100,000 pieces, but bullion
deposits apparently diminished at the Carson City Mint, since
1878-CC production was limited to only 13,180 pieces. This lightly
hairlined representative lacks consequential marks, and luster
persists in selected regions.
From The Williams Collection.(# 8986)
Glittering 1879 Twenty, MS61
1856 1879 MS61 PCGS. The 1879 is a lower mintage P-mint that
is somewhat scarce in mint condition. This piece has bright,
semireflective fields, an element that adds eye appeal and
counterbalances the numerous small abrasions that are scattered
over each side. The strike is complete throughout. (#8988)

Remarkably Lustrous 1879 Double Eagle, MS61
1857 1879 MS61 PCGS. For an MS61 coin the surfaces on this piece
are remarkably lustrous. However, that mint luster is interrupted
by numerous small to medium-sized abrasions on each side. The
strike is complete throughout, and the surfaces have lovely pinkish'
golden color with orange tinted accents over the high points.
(#8988)
Underrated Mint State 1879-S Liberty Twenty
1858 1879-S MS61 PCGS. The 1879-S Liberty double eagle is an
underrated Type Three issue in the higher Mint State grades,
despite its considerable production exceeding 1.2 million coins.
This piece shows lots of luster over orange-gold surfaces, but
moderate abrasions preclude a finer grade. PCGS has certified only
53 examples finer (4/10). (#8991)
Well-Defined 1879-S Twenty, MS61
1859 1879-S MS61 NGC. Like many of its fellow Type Three San
Francisco twenty dollar issues, the 1879-S was heavily minted but
also heavily used, and Mint State coins are genuinely elusive today.
This MS61 example has a number of shallow luster scrapes and
a few more serious abrasions on the portrait, yet the overall eye
appeal is pleasing. (#8991)
Delightful 1879-S Twenty, MS61
1860 1879-S MS61 PCGS. CAC. A wonderful Mint State San Francisco
double eagle, this 1879-S has original patina with attractive pink
toning over its brilliant and frosty yellow luster. The strike is bold
and the fields are faintly reflective. PCGS has only certified 54
finer examples, including a single MS64 that is the best of the lot
(5/10). This grand example will be actively pursued at the auction.
(#8991)
Mint State 1879-S Twenty
Original Surfaces
1861 1879-S MS61 PCGS. CAC. Here is a beautiful twenty with frosty
yellow luster and accompanying light olive and pale rose toning,
especially on the obverse. The 1879-S is a condition rarity like so
many Type Three double eagles. PCGS has only certified 54 finer
pieces (4/10). (#8991)
Low-Mintage AU53 1882-CC Double Eagle
1862 1882-CC AU53 PCGS. This AU53 piece displays yellow-orange
surface coloration with muted luster and some darker areas on
the high points and below the bust. The surfaces are relatively
unabraded for the grade. This low-mintage Carson City issue
amounted to only 39,140 pieces.
From The Williams Collection. (#8997)

1863 1882-CC AU55 PCGS. It is difficult to imagine any Choice AU
1882-CC double eagle with better eye appeal than this prooflike
example. Both sides have glittering yellow luster with only a faint
trace of wear on the high points. A few splashes of blue iridescence
are noted on the obverse. All obverse and reverse design elements
are boldly rendered. (#8997)
1868 1883-CC MS61 PCGS. Fully natural gray patina resides on the
high points of this lustrous and attractive Mint State piece. The
Carson City Mint remained an active producer of double eagles in
the early 1880s. Those minted in 1883 are usually found circulated,
with few Mint State survivors. Population: 34 in 61, 14 finer (5/10).
(#8999)
1864 1882-S MS61 PCGS. CAC. Breen-7283. Small Squat S. Despite
a mintage of 1,125,000 pieces, the 1882-S is scarce in Uncirculated
grades, since the date preceded the large-scale export of gold bullion
to Europe. Like most Mint State survivors, the present piece is
lustrous and sharply struck but has scattered obverse marks. PCGS
has certified only a single example above MS63.(#8998)
Attractive 1883-CC Twenty, XF45
1865 1883-CC XF45 PCGS. One of the so-called common dates
in the Carson City double eagle series, from a mintage of only
59,962 coins. A problem-free butter-gold Choice XF example of
this scarcer Carson City date. Luster brightens Liberty’s hair and
individual stars. Encapsulated in a green label holder. (#8999)
1866 1883-CC — Obverse Damage — NGC Details. AU. Lightly worn
with considerable yellow-gold luster remaining. While the obverse
has light abrasions and a small puncture along the lower right
obverse rim, the other side is largely unaffected, making this an
ideal coin for reverse-up display to showcase the Carson City
mintmark. (#8999)
1867 1883-CC AU50 NGC. A refreshingly unblemished and partly
lustrous representative. The 1883-CC has approximately one-
twentieth the mintage of its San Francisco counterpart, and given
the rarity of Uncirculated pieces, most collectors select an AU
example for their holdings.
From The Williams Collection. (#8999)
1884-CC Double Eagle, AU53
Strongly Detailed Example
1869 1884-CC AU53 PCGS. The 1884-CC double eagle is of median
rarity in the Carson City series. Doug Winter estimates a surviving
population of 1250-1500 coins in all grades, with perhaps 250-350
specimens extant in AU. The present coin is sharply detailed for an
AU53, and retains significant mint luster.
From The Williams Collection. (#9001)
Upper-End AU58 1884-CC Twenty
1870 1884-CC AU58 NGC. CAC. The 1884-CC is one of the more
available CC twenties, especially among pre-1890 issues. This is
a splendid example that retains almost complete mint luster. The
surfaces are just a bit dull from handling, which explains the grade.
The striking definition is sharp overall and there are no detracting
abrasions. (#9001)
1871 1884-S MS62 NGC. The color scheme of yellow-orange centers
and pale apple-green fields is familiar to the gold specialist, and
confirms the originality of this lustrous and crisply struck example.
The cheek and obverse field display no more than the expected
number of moderate marks.(#9002)
1872 1884-S MS62+ PCGS Secure. CAC. Sun-gold and olive toning
embraces this lustrous and conditionally scarce Type Three double
eagle. The obverse has relatively few abrasions, while the reverse
displays thin marks on two portions of the right reverse field.
(#9002)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 289
Delightfully Colored 1885-CC Twenty, AU53
1873 1885-CC AU53 NGC. Much radiant luster is still present on this
AU53 1885-CC double eagle, a small mintage even by Carson City
Mint standards at 9,450 coins. This issue is among the rarest CC-mint
twenties from the decade of the 1880s. The present example should
inspire spirited bidding, with its combination of delightful reddish'
orange patina, a decent strike, and no singular abrasions.
From The Williams Collection. (#9004)
1874 1885-S MS62 NGC. An attractive green-gold representative
that has coruscating luster and relatively clean fields. Moderate
contact on Liberty’s neck may be all that precludes a finer grade.
(#9005)
1875 1885-S MS62+ PCGS Secure. This flashy yellow-gold twenty
dollar piece has exemplary luster and a good strike. The left obverse
displays marks customary for the grade, while the remainder of the
coin is only minimally abraded. (#9005)
1876 1888-S MS62 PCGS. Apple-green margins surround sun-gold
centers. Small marks are scattered throughout this lustrous double
eagle, but the eye appeal is pleasing for the grade.(#9009)
Scarce 1889 Twenty, MS62
1877 1889 MS62 PCGS. Each side is well struck with bright mint luster
and pleasing yellow-gold coloration. There are noticeable die clash
marks (as struck) on the upper reverse, numerous small abrasions
on both obverse and reverse, and light, wispy hairlines in the upper
left obverse field. The 1889 is a low mintage issue and scarce in
mint condition. (#9010)
1878 1889-CC—Reverse Improperly Cleaned—NGC Details. AU.
The obverse of this lightly worn Carson City twenty displays well
with swirling wheat-gold luster. The reverse is considerably brighter,
the result of a past cleaning. (#9011)
1879 1889-CC AU50 NGC. Luster is considerable for the AU50 grade,
and bagmarks are surprisingly absent although faint hairlines are
present. One small spot is near the bridge of the nose. A mere
30,945 pieces were struck, partly because the Carson City Mint
struck no coins in 1889 prior to September. Encapsulated in a prior
generation holder.
From The Williams Collection. (#9011)
Near-Mint 1889-CC Double Eagle
1880 1889-CC AU58 NGC. Mint luster is nearly complete across this
low mintage CC-mint twenty, although the cheek and the high
points of the hair show slight friction. A good strike despite minor
incompleteness on the upper obverse stars. Minimally abraded, and
the few pinpoint strike-throughs from the 1 in the date to star 5 are
of little import. Faint hairlines are limited to the lower left obverse.
(#9011)
Mint State 1889-CC Twenty
1881 1889-CC MS60 PCGS. Unlike most of its fellows, this 1889-CC
double eagle shows no trace of wear. The strongly lustrous surfaces
are yellow-gold at their base but show extensive alloy streaks,
particularly in the portrait area and at the upper right obverse rim.
Abrasions on the central devices and a rim bruise to the right of the
date account for the grade. (#9011)

Important 1889-CC Double Eagle, MS62
1882 1889-CC MS62 PCGS. CAC. Housed in a green label PCGS
holder. The 1889-CC twenty is a popular issue that rides on the
coat tales of the famous ‘89-CC Morgan dollar. Throughout the
year, Carson City produced 30,945 double eagles, a low mintage
compared to many other double eagle issues, but a rather significant
quantity for that Mint.
This important specimen approaches the finest survivors with
its frosty yellow surfaces and bold design features. Both sides have
minor abrasions and spots, with a dark toning spot at the final S
in STATES. Here is an excellent opportunity for the specialist.
Population: 51 in 62, 6 finer (4/10). (#9011)
1884 1890 MS62 PCGS. This lustrous butter-gold better date twenty
is surprisingly unabraded but does have a moderate mark on the
obverse rim at 6:30. Much scarcer than the mintage of 75,940
business strikes would indicate, this issue is seldom seen at the
current grade level, and becomes challenging to locate any finer.
Ex: San Francisco ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2005 ), lot 7768.
(#9013)
Splendid Choice AU 1890-CC Twenty
1885 1890-CC AU55 PCGS. This Choice AU piece shows excellent
orange-gold coloration, but a few noticeable abrasions appear
on Liberty’s cheek that preclude a higher grade. Splendid luster
remains, however, and the bold strike is a plus. A splendid survivor
from the last few years of Carson City mintage.
From The Williams Collection. (#9014)
Brilliant 1890-CC Twenty, AU55
1886 1890-CC AU55 NGC. This Choice AU example has brilliant
yellow-gold luster with pleasing surfaces and strong design details.
The 1890-CC double eagle was a high mintage issue, with a total
production of 91,209 coins. Issues such as this one provide type
collectors with the opportunity to add a Carson City gold piece to
their collection. (#9014)
1883 1890 MS62 PCGS. This lemon-gold low mintage double eagle
has flashy luster and a good strike. Clean for the grade despite a
few bagmarks on the shield. The date is lightly repunched, most
apparent above the flag of the 1 .(#9013)

Still'Lustrous AU50 1891-CC Twenty
1887 1891-CC AU50 PCGS. The 1891-CC double eagle bucks the
trend of the other CC-mint gold denominations that year, with only
5,000 of the twenties struck versus the six-figure mintages of fives
and tens. This lightly worn example, like many of its fellows, has a
well-defined reverse and central obverse but flat stars. Still-lustrous
yellow-gold surfaces have significant alloy close to the rims. Most
notably about this coin, while there are numerous wispy marks,
there are few of the heavy abrasions that so often characterize the
issue. PCGS has certified 80 examples finer (4/10).
From The Williams Collection. (#9017)
1891-S Double Eagle, MS63 ★
Bright Semiprooflike Fields
1888 1891-S MS63 ★ NGC. The 1891 -S is a relatively available
S-mint twenty, even in MS63. What is not available, and what
will undoubtedly bring a premium, are the bright, glittering fields
on each side of this coin. The fields are so close to Prooflike
designation, one has to wonder if it were sent in again ... Both
sides have rich reddish-golden color, and there are only a few small
abrasions on the obverse that explain the grade. (#9018)
1889 1892 XF45 PCGS. Considerable luster remains on both sides of
this desirable double eagle. The 1892 had a mintage of only 4,430
coins, and few of those have survived. This pleasing piece has light
yellow surfaces with traces of pale orange toning. Population: 9 in
45, 84 finer (5/10). (#9019)
Choice AU Low Mintage 1892 Twenty
1890 1892 AU55 PCGS. CAC. A tiny mintage of 4,430 pieces makes
the 1892 a much better date. As one might expect, it is rare in
all grades, since perhaps nobody other than J.M. Clapp collected
double eagles by date in 1892. This moderately prooflike example
displays typical marks but exhibits scant highpoint wear. Population:
20 in 55, 43 finer (4/10). (#9019)
Lustrous 1892-CC Double Eagle, AU53
1891 1892-CC AU53 PCGS. Housed in a green label PCGS holder, this
1892-CC twenty has frosty yellow luster and bold design features.
Splashes of light orange toning and dark copper spots are evident
on the obverse. The reverse, graded separately, is substantially finer,
approaching full Mint State.

Reflective 1892-CC Twenty, AU55
1892 1892-CC AU55 NGC. Splashes of gray patina are evident on the
high points of this reflective yellow-gold double eagle. Just a trace
of wear is visible on the otherwise lustrous surfaces. As expected,
the surfaces have numerous tiny abrasions, none that are of any
significance. (#9020)
Lovely 1893 Liberty Twenty, MS64
Tied for Finest PCGS Certified
1893 1893 MS64 PCGS. A sensational near-Gem, this brilliant and
frosty piece is tied for the finest that PCGS has certified. Both sides
have bold design details and exceptional surfaces. In fact, some
might consider a higher grade for this piece. Population: 60 in 64, 0
finer (5/10). (#9022)
Popular 1893-CC Twenty, MS61
1894 1893-CC MS61 NGC. The final Carson City issue, the 1893-CC
twenty is popular with type collectors and always in demand from
date collectors. This piece has sharp design features, satiny yellow
luster, and some surface marks at the lower reverse.
From The Williams Collection. (#9023)
1895 1895-S MS62 Prooflike NGC. A prominently mirrored and well
impressed double eagle, lightly abraded for the MS62 level despite a
couple of brief, conspicuous marks on the left reverse field. Census:
6 in 62 Prooflike, 1 finer (4/10).(#79028)
1896 1898-S MS64 NGC. CAC. Fantastically bold luster with great
cartwheels and just a touch of satin. This near-Gem has a small
mark on Liberty’s cheek, but there are more luster grazes than
actual abrasions.(#9034)
1897 1898-S MS64+ PCGS Secure. This exquisite green-gold example
has unencumbered cartwheel luster and a precise strike. Marks
are minimal, especially on the reverse. The 1898-S will never
be rare, but high quality pieces are always under strong demand.
(#9034)
1898 1898-S MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. A khaki-gold representative
that has vibrant luster and an exceptionally unabraded reverse. A
plentiful issue in most grades, but rare above the MS64 level. OF
AMERICA displays minor die doubling.(#9034)
1899 1900 MS64 NGC. CAC. This beautiful double eagle has
exceptionally smooth fields. On its own, the reverse appears to
grade considerably finer than the MS64 level. Contact on the
cheek is minor and inoffensive. An excellent candidate for a quality
gold type set. (#903 7)
1900 1900 MS64 NGC. CAC. This Type Three twenty possesses a bold
strike and vibrant cartwheel sheen. The orange and olive fields are
refreshingly unmarked, and the portrait has only moderate contact.
(#9037)
1901 1900 MS64 NGC. CAC. This khaki-gold near-Gem offers
vibrant luster and a precise strike. The reverse is well preserved,
and the obverse field has minimal contact. Even the cheek has
only faint abrasions. Excellent quality for this turn-of-the-century
Philadelphia issue. (#903 7)
Lovely 1900-S Twenty, MS62 Prooflike
1902 1900-S MS62 Prooflike NGC. CAC. Prooflike Liberty double
eagles are extremely popular with collectors, and this piece is no
exception. It has fully mirrored fields with excellent eye appeal. A
small dark spot near Liberty’s eye will provide a convenient marker
for future researchers seeking its provenance. Census: 12 in 62
Prooflike, 2 finer (5/10). (#79038)
Low-Mintage 1902 Double Eagle, MS62
1903 1902 MS62 PCGS. The 1902 double eagle is a surprising rarity,
from a mintage of only 31,140 coins. While available at the MS62
grade level, it is rare in finer grades. PCGS has only certified 73
coins nicer than this piece (5/10). Both sides are fully lustrous with
rich orange and rose gold surfaces. Only a few scattered surface
marks are evident on each side. (#9041)
1904 1903-S MS64 NGC. Rich peach peripheral color with satiny sun-
yellow or orange centers. Well-defined with more luster scrapes
than actual marks. NGC has graded 22 numerically finer examples
(4/10).(#9044)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010

293
1905 1904 MS65 PCGS Secure. CAC. This is an exquisite Gem
specimen of the plentiful 1904 double eagle, the most common
date of the Liberty design and the ideal candidate for a high grade
type collection. This piece has highly lustrous yellow surfaces with
bold design definition. (#9045)
Extraordinary MS66 1904 Double Eagle
1906 1904 MS66 PCGS. The 1904 is the type coin of the Liberty twenty
series. The mintage exceeds that of the combined next three highest
Philadelphia issues. Among gold issues of all denominations, only
the 1928 double eagle has a greater production. But although the
1904 is plentiful overall in Mint State, only a minuscule percentage
of those pieces aspire to the MS66 grade. The present coin does, as
it is virtually devoid of visible marks, and the orange-gold fields and
devices are bathed in luster. The strike is also exemplary. Housed
in an old green label holder. PCGS has certified only two examples
finer (4/10). (#9045)
1907 1904 MS65 ★ Prooflike NGC. As of (4/10), the present lot
is the single highest graded 1904 double eagle that combines
both the Prooflike and Star designations. The 1904 is plentiful
in bagmarked grades, but it is the rare example that is as well
preserved as the present unabraded Gem. The flashy fields are
preternaturally smooth, and the strike is precise, even on the folds
of the hairbun. The eye appeal appears unimprovable.
Ex: Phoenix ANA Signature (Heritage, 3/2008), lot 1755, which
realized $7,187.50. (#79045)
Lustrous Gem 1904-S Liberty Double Eagle
1908 1904-S MS65 PCGS. CAC. Although even at the Gem level the
1904 and 1904'S double eagle issues can in no way be considered
uncommon, that is a boon to collectors seeking examples, as they
are also well-produced issues that are extremely attractive in such
grades. This 1904-S is no exception, offering a nearly full strike
over lightly abraded, highly lustrous gold-orange surfaces. PCGS
has certified only two finer (4/10). (#9046)
Desirable 1905 Double Eagle, MS62
1909 1905 MS62 PCGS. Recognized as a 20th century double eagle
rarity, the 1905 is almost never found finer than this coin. PCGS
has only certified 55 coins in MS63 or better grades, including 46
in MS63 and nine in MS64 (5/10). This representative has emerald
patina over bright green-gold surfaces. Full luster is evident on both
sides. (#9047)

Low-Mintage 1905 Twenty, MS62
1910 1905 MS62 PCGS. The 1905 twenty is a scarce date with an
impressively low mintage of only 58,919 pieces. Surprisingly few
were saved in mint condition, and those that were set aside are
generally not found finer than MS62. This example has lovely,
softly frosted mint luster. The strike is not absolutely complete, but
it is generally strong throughout. There are a few small abrasions
scattered on each side (but really, most are in the obverse fields)
that account for the grade. (#9047)
Striking MS65+ 1907-D Twenty
1911 1907-D MS65+ PCGS Secure. A top-shelf example of this
early Denver double eagle issue, bearing the Liberty design like
all mintmarked twenties dated 1907. Faintly frosted yellow-gold
surfaces are of excellent quality, and the overall eye appeal is
tantalizingly close to an even finer designation. PCGS has graded
just 15 coins as MS66 or better (4/10). (#9053)
PROOF LIBERTY DOUBLE EAGLES
1877 Twenty Dollar, PR58 Cameo
1912 1877 PR58 Cameo NGC. With a tiny mintage of just 20 pieces, it
is no surprise that proof 1877 double eagles rarely appear at auction.
According to Jeff Garrett and John Dannreuther’s compilation of
auction records, only one specimen—a PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC
in our 2004 ANA sale—was sold between 2003 and 2007. Our own
census data shows no additional appearances. This is undoubtedly
an important offering for the specialist.
This remarkable specimen boasts unfathomable deeply mirrored
fields that show outstanding cameo contrast against the frosted
devices. The strike is full, as one would expect from a proof. A
number of minuscule abrasions and a trace of light rub define
the grade. This is an excellent example of this seldom-seen
issue. NGC has graded a total of 11 proofs, of which nine have
received a Cameo designation, while PCGS has certified four
specimens. However, it is likely that those numbers are slightly
high due to multiple submissions of the same coin (5/10).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/09 ), lot 1887. (#89093)

HIGH RELIEF DOUBLE EAGLES
1913 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim VG8 PCGS. It is possible to like a
coin too much, and here is an example. Someone liked this High
Relief so much they carried it in their pocket for many years. We
have never seen another High Relief with such high point wear,
but the PCGS Population Report shows there is also a Fair 2 and two
VG 6 examples. Two things are surprising about this piece: There
is a remarkable amount of detail still evident on each side, much
more than one would expect from the grade, undoubtedly from the
high relief the coin was struck in. It is also surprising that there is
still a tiny portion of the wire rim still evident, from 8 to 9 o’clock
on the obverse. The surfaces are bright but appear to be uncleaned,
just the brightness one would expect from rubbing on the inside of
a pocket. Surface marks are also minimal, again just the small marks
one would expect from coin-to-coin contact from years of being
carried as a pocket piece. Light reddish patina is seen in the fields.
(#9135)
1907 Wire Rim High Relief, Unc Details
1914 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim—Obverse Improperly Cleaned—
NGC Details. Unc Details. The obverse and reverse present a
slight contrast in appearance. The obverse is brighter from cleaning.
The reverse is more subdued and satiny. The obverse has not been
abrasively cleaned, however. A few light hairlines can be detected
with a magnifier, but the cleaning done to this coin is definitely on
the mild side. The coin overall has no reportable contact marks and
the strike is strong throughout. (#9135)

1915 1907 High Relief, Wire Rim MS63 NGC. CAC. Delays in
producing the new Augustus Saint-Gaudens coinage designs came
from two sources. One was from the president himself. While
impatient to have new coins, he could not resist meddling in the
artistic process. Saint-Gaudens acquiesced to all of Roosevelt’s
suggestions—he was the president, after all, and the sculptor had
a long tradition of courting wealthy and powerful patrons. The
second source of delays came from the Mint. Much has been
made of the interference and professional jealousy between Saint -
Gaudens and Chief Engraver Charles Barber. While no one would
judge Barber as one of the great engravers of the 19th century, he
did understand the needs of high-speed coinage and the need for
lowered relief on commercially usable coins. Saint-Gaudens, on
the other hand, lived in a world of artists. He created one work,
not millions of copies of it. When one sees the Shaw Memorial
in Boston and its marching figures cut in extremely high relief, it
is more understandable that he would expect the Mint to be able
to produce the Ultra High Relief twenty as a circulating coin—
especially when the president himself had told Saint-Gaudens
how much he admired the coins of the ancient Greeks, and how
he believed the present coins in circulation were of “atrocious
hideousness.” But delays and compromises were made, some due
to Barber, some to Roosevelt, and some to Saint-Gaudens himself.
The High Relief twenty and Wire Rim ten dollar are the early,
uncompromised versions of Saint-Gaudens’ vision of the new
gold coins. As such, collectors have sought them avidly since
their production in 1907. This is a bright, well-defined example
that shows almost a complete wire rim around each side. Close
examination reveals a few small imperfections, a shallow planchet
flaw, a tiny grease stain, and a few contact marks—none of which
are individually significant but together they limit this lovely coin
to the MS63 grade. (#9135)

PROOF HIGH RELIEF DOUBLE EAGLE
Renowned 1907 High Relief, PR62, Wire Rim
1916 1907 High Relief PR62 NGC. In his 1913 Reminiscences , Homer
Saint-Gaudens quoted his late father: “A sculptor’s work endures
so long it is next to a crime for him not to do everything in his
power to produce a good result.” This quote forms the basis for
understanding the complete catalog of works by Saint-Gaudens
from his days as a cameo cutter until his final days when he was
working with Henry Hering on the designs for the ten and twenty
dollar gold pieces. Saint-Gaudens produced several medals, but his
most renowned works in small format are the ten and twenty dollar
gold pieces. The artistic nature of these coins makes them his most
affordable and accessible sculptural works.
The sculptural nature of Saint-Gaudens double eagle is best
brought out by the pinpoint precision of the proof strikings.
This piece has all the elements required of a proof. The design
elements display extreme sharpness, both in the centers and at
the peripheries; there is an absence of die erosion or distortion;
numerous, raised die polishing lines are evident and are particularly
bold on this piece as a proof rather than a business strike; no radial
flow lines are evident giving the coin a uniformly satiny surface;
and there is a slight build-up of extruded metal just inside the
borders at some places which is a result of additional strikes from
the hydraulic press. Close examination with a loupe reveals a few
scattered contact marks, but the only one worthy of mention is in
the reverse field between the upper and lower wings of the eagle.
(#9132)
SAINT-GAUDENS DOUBLE EAGLES
1917 1907 Arabic Numerals MS64 PCGS. CAC. A well struck
example of this first-year issue with rich sun-yellow luster that takes
on elements of orange on the reverse. Minimally abraded, as befits
a near-Gem, with just a few luster grazes and small marks noted in
the fields. Housed in a green label holder.(#9141)
1918 1907 Arabic Numerals MS64 PCGS. Even the envious Charles
Barber’s revisions to Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ memorable design
failed to enervate its grandeur, as this first-year Arabic Numerals
piece makes abundantly clear. The majestic Liberty, modeled
after Greek statues representing Victory or Athena, is relatively
unabraded on this example, and the eagle on the reverse, redesigned
from “the Saint’s” admiration for the Flying Eagle cent, displays the
same splendid orange-gold color and undistracting surfaces. A
popular type coin.
From The Williams Collection. (#9141)
1919 1907 Arabic Numerals MS64 NGC. This introductory year
Saint-Gaudens twenty has good luster and minimal marks. The
green-gold surfaces are dusky and original. A two-year subtype
without a Motto above the sun.
From The Williams Collection. (#9141)
1907 Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS65+
Vibrant Mint Luster
1920 1907 Arabic Numerals MS65+ PCGS Secure. This is indeed a
Plus coin, as seen primarily by the extraordinarily thick and vibrant
mint luster that swirls around each side. The surfaces are also
remarkably clean and clearly suggestive of an even higher grade.
The striking details are strong throughout and nearly complete. It
will be interesting to see how the Plus market develops, as coins
such as this are clearly worth a premium. (#9141)
1921 1908 No Motto MS65 PCGS. Short Rays Obverse. A lemon-
gold Gem of this briefly produced design subtype. Marks are
surprisingly few and inconsequential. The strike is complete save
for the fingers bearing the torch.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2009), lot 1899, which realized
$2,760.
From The Williams Collection. (#9142)
1922 1908 No Motto MS65 NGC. CAC. Frosty orange-gold luster
endows this lovely Gem double eagle. Sharply struck, evidenced by
the detail in the panes of the Capitol building, Liberty’s fingers, and
the eagle’s plumage. A few grade-consistent marks are unworthy of
individual mention. Encased in a former generation holder.
From The Williams Collection. (#9142)
Lovely MS66+ 1908 No Motto Double Eagle
1923 1908 No Motto MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. This type coin is
pleasing, even by Premium Gem standards. Intense yellow-gold
luster shows glimpses of orange color at the margins. Impressively
preserved in most respects, though abrasions at Liberty’s knee and
in the rays below the eagle keep the coin from Superb Gem status.
(#9142)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 297
Impressive MS66+ 1908 No Motto Twenty
1924 1908 No Motto MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. A fantastically
lustrous example of this popular type coin, well-defined with bold
yellow and straw luster as well as intense orange overtones. Great
condition and eye appeal within the MS66 range, as noted on the
holder. PCGS has graded just 53 coins as MS67 or better (4/10).
(#9142)
1925 1908 Motto MS64 NGC. A khaki-gold double eagle that has
dynamic luster and a full strike. Well preserved save for moderate
contact on the eagle’s wings. A relatively low mintage, and difficult
to acquire any finer.(#9147)
1926 1908 Motto MS64 NGC. An apricot-gold near-Gem whose
lustrous fields and devices display only occasional minor marks. The
mintage is much lower than its No Motto counterpart.(#9147)
1927 1908-D Motto MS64+ PCGS Secure. Orange and green-gold
compete for territory across this lustrous and intricately struck
double eagle. Infrequent small marks are appropriate for the Choice
level. (#9148)
Lustrous 1909 Twenty, MS63
1928 1909 MS63 PCGS. The 1909 Normal Date and 1909/8 Overdate
varieties are encountered with about the same frequency. When
they were first discovered, the overdates were thought to be much
rarer, but today the populations are similar.
This example of the Normal Date variety is highly lustrous with
hints of green on its frosty yellow surfaces. The design details are
excellent and the eye appeal is great. (#9150)
1929 1909-S MS64 NGC. CAC. This lustrous orange-gold near-Gem
has a sharp strike on the Capitol building and eagle’s plumage. A
loupe reveals only inconspicuous contact. Encapsulated in a prior
generation holder. (#9153)
1930 1909-S MS64 PCGS. CAC. Enticing rose-gold toning and satin
luster encompass the surfaces of this exceptionally attractive near-
Gem double eagle. The striking definition is bold throughout, and
there are only a few trivial marks on each side. A scarce issue in
grades exceeding MS64.(#9153)
1931 1909-S MS64+ PCGS Secure. This Saint-Gaudens twenty is
sharply struck and lustrous. Devoid of consequential contact,
and a highly pleasing representative of this popular S-mint issue.
(#9153)
1909-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS65
Superior Luster
1932 1909-S MS65 PCGS. This Gem 1909-S twenty has the eye appeal
of an even higher grade coin. The surfaces are amazingly well
preserved with blazing mint luster and honey-gold coloration, the
combination making this a memorable double eagle. As of (4/10),
PCGS has graded only seven coins finer than the current offering.
(#9153)
1933 1910 MS64 NGC. At first glance, this lustrous and precisely struck
honey-gold double eagle appears to merit a finer grade, since the
fields, sun, and eagle are impressively unabraded. Close examination
locates only a solitary diagonal mark on Liberty’s chest.
From The Williams Collection. 9154)
1934 1911 MS62 PCGS. Light green-gold surfaces have bold and
gleaming luster. Well struck and attractive despite the numerous
small abrasions that preclude Select status.(#9157)
Attractive Choice 1911 Double Eagle
1935 1911 MS64 NGC. Sweeping cartwheel luster and a bold strike are
characteristics of this attractive green-gold Saint-Gaudens double
eagle. Marks are limited to the 11 in the date and a thin line on the
sun. The final year for the 46-star subtype, since New Mexico and
Arizona entered the Union in 1912. (#9157)
1936 1911-D/D MS62 PCGS. FS-501. Brightly lustrous with radiant
yellow-gold color. This well struck double eagle has a refreshingly
unabraded reverse, and the obverse fields display only the expected
number of wispy marks.
From The Williams Collection. (#145010)
Favored 1911-D/D Double Eagle, MS65
1937 1911-D/D MS65 PCGS. CAC. FS-501. The prominent and
plentiful repunched mintmark variety, offered here as an attractive
Gem. Impressive yellow-gold luster is subtly patinated with a faint
orange cast. The strike is solid, and only a few small marks are
present, with the reverse showing a greater concentration. A rarity
any finer. (#145010)

1938 1911-D/DMS65 PCGS. CAC.FS-501. The popular Cherrypickers’
variety with bold undermintmark to the east of the main mintmark.
Lightly toned with a wonderful “skin” that is yellow-orange on the
obverse but more yellow on the reverse. Well struck with few marks
save for a small abrasion at the top of the eagle’s forward wing.
Population: 52 in 65, 16 finer (4/10). (#145010)
Splendid 1911-S Double Eagle, MS65
1939 1911-S MS65 PCGS Secure. This is a splendid Gem impression
of the 1911 -S double eagle, one of the more available and better-
produced Saint-Gaudens entries of the era. Bountiful luster is the
hallmark of this piece, with delightful yellow-gold surfaces and a
bold strike. PCGS has certified only 26 finer coins (4/10). (#9159)
Gem 1911-S Twenty Dollar
1941 1911-S MS65 PCGS Secure. While this San Francisco issue is
readily accessible in grades through MS64, the Gem level is the
“available for a price” threshold and anything finer is a condition
rarity. The present MS65 coin has bold yellow-gold luster with
orange overtones. The devices are well struck and minimally
abraded, though shallow grazes and tiny marks are noted in the
fields. PCGS has certified 26 coins finer (4/10). (#9159)
Satiny Near-Gem 1912 Double Eagle
1942 1912 MS64 NGC. A lovely near-Gem example of this relatively
available early P-mint Saint-Gaudens issue. The surfaces are khaki-
gold with some suggestions of mint near the rims. Even a loupe fails
to reveal anything except a bold strike over satiny surfaces with few
marks and excellent eye appeal. (#9160)
Gem 1911-S Saint-Gaudens Twenty
1940 1911-S MS65 PCGS. Ex: Park Avenue Collection. A khaki-gold
representative that possesses unencumbered luster and attractive
undipped surfaces. One diagonal hair-thin mark is noted above
TRUST. An attentively struck type coin from the final year of the
46-star design subtype. (#9159)
Lovely Select 1913 Double Eagle
1943 1913 MS63 PCGS Secure. The 1913 double eagle is a fairly
available issue at the MS62-MS63 grade level, becoming more
elusive in MS64 and is extremely difficult at the Gem level or
finer. This is a lovely coin, with radiant luster over the orange-gold
surfaces and no singular abrasions on either side. (#9161)
1944 1914 MS62 NGC. Strong wheat-gold luster shows elements of
sun-yellow. Well-defined with a number of small but significant
abrasions scattered on the obverse, as well as a degree of flatness on
Liberty’s knee.(#9164)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 299
Popular 1914 Twenty Dollar, MS63
1945 1914 MS63 PCGS. Apricot and olive hues grace this lustrous
and well defined representative. A trace of aqua residue is noted
to the left of Liberty’s neck, but the satiny fields and devices are
uncommonly free from abrasions for the MS63 level. The mintage
for the 1914 is less than 100,000 pieces, which makes it a popular
target for accumulators. (#9164)
Dazzling 1914-S Twenty Dollar, MS66
1946 1914-S MS66 NGC. Lovely peach-gold toning enriches boldly
struck and lustrous surfaces. Marks are particularly scarce on the
obverse. Minor rim dings are noted on the obverse at 8 o’clock
and on the reverse at 4 o’clock. As of (4/10), NGC and PCGS
combined have certified only one example finer. (#9166)
1947 1915 MS63 PCGS* Dazzling luster illuminates this lower mintage
and boldly struck Saint-Gaudens twenty. One spot southwest of the
L in LIBERTY, but marks are refreshingly few on the reverse, and
primarily limited to wispy field scuffs on the obverse.(#9167)
1948 1920 MS63 PCGS. Despite the relatively low mintage, examples
of this issue did not suffer the wholesale meltings of some of the
later examples in the series. Bountiful luster emanates from both
sides of this splendid orange-gold Select Mint State piece. Some
moderate abrasions, none overly severe and confined mostly to the
obverse, account for the grade.
From The Williams Collection. (#9170)
1949 1922 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. This sharply struck Choice
double eagle has a clean reverse and only a few minor obverse field
marks. Peach toning blankets lustrous surfaces. The 1922 to 1928
Philadelphia run constitutes most of the “common” postwar issues
of the series. (#9173)
Appealing MS62 1922-S Twenty
1950 1922-S MS62 PCGS. Like so many mintmarked issues in the
middle Saint-Gaudens series, the 1922-S is a former great rarity
that now is more available because of overseas discoveries of small
hoards that were exported. This piece boasts strong eye appeal,
with good luster over orange-gold surfaces. The small, scattered
ticks and abrasions are consistent with the grade. (#9174)
Lustrous 1922-S Double Eagle, MS62
1951 1922-S MS62 PCGS. Lots of luster radiates from both sides of
this antique-gold piece, but numerous small abrasions peppered
around preclude a finer grade. The strike is sharp, although some
small copper-colored alloy spots appear on the obverse. This piece
nonetheless might be a good, cost-effective acquisition for some
fortunate collector, as the issue thins out markedly in the higher
grades and is still a great rarity at the Gem level. (#9174)
Attractive 1922-S Twenty, MS63
1952 1922-S MS63 PCGS. The 1922-S double eagle is found with
frequency in the lower Mint State grades, but above MS63 it is
scarce. This grade level is the ideal choice for collectors, combining
an attractive coin with an affordable price. This piece is fully
lustrous with olive and rose toning highlights. (#9174)

Elusive Near-Gem 1922-S Double Eagle
1953 1922-S MS64 NGC. The mintage of more 2.6 million pieces is
a mere historical footnote, since only a minuscule portion of the
production ever left Treasury vaults. Most 1922-S twenties were
eventually melted into a number of the gold bricks that line the
walls of Fort Knox. This is a lustrous and lightly abraded example.
Sun-gold aside from the occasional small cherry-red alloy spot.
(#9174)
Sharp Gem 1923 Twenty Dollar
1954 1923 MS65 PCGS Secure. The 1923 Saint-Gaudens issue is
not the common coin that it is usually considered to be, due to
its association with other P-mints of the 1920s that are. It is far
rarer than the 1925, 1926, or 1928, and although it is available up
to MS64, Gems are rare and anything finer is nearly impossible.
Housed in one of the spiffy new PCGS Secure holders, this piece
displays the normal bold strike for the issue. The coloration is
a lovely orange-gold with bright luster, and marks are minimal,
as expected. PCGS has certified only three pieces finer (4/10).
(#9175)
1955 1923-D MS66 ★ NGC. Rich sea-green and peach patina confirms
the Star designation, bestowed by NGC on coins with superior eye
appeal. This is a nicely struck Premium Gem that boasts booming
luster and a minimum of tiny marks.(#9176)
Premium Gem 1923-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle
1956 1923-D MS66 PCGS. CAC. This magnificent high grade Denver
type coin provides potent luster and an exemplary strike. The
peach-gold centers are framed by lime-green peripheries. The
dies are moderately rotated, an unusual occurrence for the double
eagle denomination. A beautiful and desirable example of this
perennially favored gold design. (#9176)
1957 1924 MS65 PCGS. This canary-gold Gem has booming luster and
pleasing preservation. Well struck, even on the torch fingers and
the panes of the Capitol building. Certainly a common date, but
high end examples remain desirable.(#9177)
1958 1924 MS66 NGC. CAC. An outstanding Saint-Gaudens type
coin. The green-gold and apricot surfaces are virtually pristine, an
unusual occurrence for the 1924, which usually displays noticeable
bagmarks on the fields, eagle, and Liberty. Numerically finer
examples are obtainable, but the present piece will satisfy even the
most demanding collector.(#9177)
1959 1924 MS66 NGC. CAC. The 1924 will never be rare, although
rumors that examples can be stacked to the Moon appear
exaggerated. But the typical 1924 grades between MS63 and MS64,
and only a tiny percentage of survivors aspire to the MS66 level.
And few among those that have attained that lofty platform can
compare with the quality of the present Premium Gem, which has
nearly pristine green-gold surfaces.(#9177)
Desirable 1924 Twenty, MS67
1960 1924 MS67 PCGS. The 1924 double eagle is the single most
common issue of the denomination, and it is available in any grade
desired up to MS66. However, Superb Gem specimens like this one
are elusive, as the population data indicates. This piece has highly
lustrous yellow surfaces with traces of light green and bright orange
toning. The strike is bold except for the capitol building that is
almost never found well detailed. Overall, every aspect of this
delightful Saint-Gaudens double eagle is as nice as anyone could
desire. Population: 78 in 67, 1 finer (5/10). (#9177)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 301
Rare 1925-D Double Eagle, MS62
1961 1925-D MS62 PCGS. CAC. The 1925-D has a reported mintage
of nearly 3 million pieces, but more than 99% of the production
never left Treasury vaults. Perhaps 500 examples escaped the
smelter, and have found their way from European bank holdings
into collector hands. The present lustrous coin is among those to
survive. It has a good strike and is only lightly abraded save for a
couple of shiny feathers on the eagle’s neck. (#9181)
Pleasing MS64 1926-S Twenty
1962 1926-S MS64 PCGS Secure. Well struck by the standards of this
heavily melted San Francisco issue, though Liberty’s fingers and
toes are softly defined, as often seen. Lightly patinated surfaces
are largely yellow-gold, and a single small shiny spot is noted on
Liberty’s knee. PCGS has certified a mere 32 finer examples (4/10).
(#9185)
Desirable MS64+ 1926-S Twenty
1963 1926-S MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. The Guide Book mintage of
more than 2 million pieces is a mere historical footnote, since most
1926-S twenties were melted by the Treasury following Roosevelt’s
gold recall. A few hundred examples have made their way back to
America from their sanctuary in foreign bank vaults, but PCGS
has certified only 32 pieces in MS65 or finer. This is a lustrous and
minimally abraded representative only kept from Gem status by a
few tiny rim marks. (#9185)
1964 1927 MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1927 Saint-Gaudens issue makes
a glorious type coin, as one of the P-mint issues from the decade of
the 1920s with the twin blessings of good production qualities and
relative availability. This Premium Gem example offers deep, rich
orange-gold coloration over surfaces that are well-struck and free
of all but the most picayune abrasions. PCGS has certified only 12
specimens finer (5/10).
From The Williams Collection. (#9186)
1965 1927 MS66 PCGS. Beautiful butter-gold toning is present
throughout aside from a dash of cobalt-blue and golden-brown near
the torch flame. Lustrous and intricately struck with clean surfaces
and imposing eye appeal.(#9186)
Magnificent MS67 1927 Saint-Gaudens Twenty
1966 1927 MS67 NGC. Although part of a commonly seen date, this
Superb Gem is anything but a common coin, in any sense of the
word. The magnificent orange-golden-rose coloration combines
with rich, ebullient luster to immediately captivate the eye of the
viewer. The striking details are uniformly crisp and full, and careful
examination with a loupe fails to reveal any noteworthy marks,
other than a faint graze on the upper left quadrant of the sun.
Census: 50 in 67, 0 finer (4/10). (#9186)
Prized 1927-S Double Eagle, MS62
1967 1927-S MS62 NGC. Falling between the easy availability of the
1927-P and the million-dollar rarity of the 1927-D, the 1927-S
follows a comparative middle path; it is clearly a melt rarity, far more
elusive than a mintage of over 3.1 million pieces would suggest, yet
it remains accessible to more than just a handful of collectors.
This MS62 representative offers strong sun-yellow luster with light
orange overtones in the patination. Slight striking softness and
minor, scattered abrasions have surprisingly little impact on the eye
appeal, though a few marks in the rays below the eagle are clearly
visible. Census: 39 in 62, 41 finer (5/10). (#9188)

Lustrous 1927-S Double Eagle, MS63
An Absolute Rarity in the Series
1968 1927-S MS63 PCGS. As numismatists grow in their collecting
interests and their budgets for coin purchases also increase,
it is natural that many of them sooner or later turn to the
Saint-Gaudens twenty dollar gold pieces. They are our nation’s
largest classic circulating gold denomination. They also bear
the unmistakable imprimatur of “the Saint,” likely the most
gifted artist ever to design a U.S. coin. Even though Saint-
Gaudens’ original concept for this gold denomination was
tempered both through practicality and jealousy, the resulting
business strike Saint-Gaudens twenties retain much of the
original appeal of his grand vision for coinage in the style of the
high-relief coinage of the ancient Greeks.
But these coins possess another intrinsic quality that furthers
their appeal, as they combine classic beauty with classic rarity.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Gold Recall of 1933 resulted
in the melting of many millions of examples, and today the
posted mintage figures bear no relation whatsoever to their
current rarity.
The 1927-S is a popular issue in its own right and because
it is a sibling to the 1927-D, the rarest mintmarked Saint-
Gaudens issue that is still obtainable at some price. Although
the 1927-S was produced to the extent of more than 3.1 million
pieces, research by pioneering 1940s collector Dr. Charles W.
Green revealed that the San Francisco Mint had released only
3,750 examples of the 1927-S by the time of the Gold Recall,
explaining its absolute rarity in all grades today. PCGS’ CoinFacts
website estimates that 225 examples of the 1927-S exist in all
grades today, with about two-thirds of those in Mint State. We
believe but cannot prove that that estimate is a bit on the high
side, and that the upper limit is 190 or 200 coins in all grades.
The present Select Mint Mint State example boasts the
usual terrific, frosted mint luster that the issue is well-known
for. The strike is good, although some softness appears on
Fiberty’s nose and some of the eagle’s breast feathers. Numerous
small abrasions scattered over each side help account for the
grade. A small planchet void resembles a tiny hole in Fiberty’s
forehead. This is a nonetheless remarkably attractive coin, with
splendid luster its chief calling card. Population: 23 in 63, 12
finer (4/10). (#9188)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 303
1969 1928 MS65 PCGS. The lustrous yellow-gold surfaces are alertly
struck and only moderately abraded. The highest mintage issue,
but less plentiful than the 1924. Housed in a green label holder.

Razor-Sharp 1928 Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS67
1971 1928 MS67 NGC. It is true that more than 8.8 million 1928
double eagles were struck, but a sizeable portion of the mintage
was melted by the Federal government, and among the 100,000 or
so Uncirculated survivors, most display bagmarks and grade MS65

The Always-Popular Mispunched K-4 Variant
1972 (1837-42) C. Bechtler Dollar, N Reversed MS62 NGC. K-4,

and memorable Bechtler variety. The recessed areas are canary-
gold, while the fields are sky-gray and reddish-gold. Abrasions are
primarily trivial, the sole exception is a brief, thin mark between the
CA in CAROLINA. A minor and mostly retained lamination (as

claiming that nearly half or even a majority of survivors are of
this type. Though it comprises a large portion of the population,
interest from Territorial type collectors has kept demand high.
Though accurate grading is sometimes difficult with territorial
gold coins, this mustard-gold piece shows distinctly lustrous fields
with just a touch of friction evident. The coloration is even, and
the eye appeal is excellent. Listed on page 360 of the 2010 Guide
Book. Population: 6 in 55, 5 finer (4/10). (#10067)
1970 1928 MS66+ PCGS Secure. CAC. A gorgeous Premium Gem
example of this highest-mintage double eagle issue, a type collector
favorite. The strike is strong, particularly on Liberty’s hands and
toes, and the yellow-gold luster is intense. The small, scattered
marks on each side, though not of individual significance, combine
to leave the grade just shy of an even finer designation. PCGS
has graded just 64 coins at the Superb Gem levels (4/10). (#9189)

Marvelous 1860 Clark, Gruber Quarter Eagle
K-l, MS64, Single Finest Graded at PCGS
1974 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle MS64 PCGS. K-l,
R.4. The 1860 coinage was the first for the firm of Clark, Gruber
& Co., of Denver, Colorado, and the firm would produce no more
coins after 1861, becoming instead the forerunner of the United
States Mint at Denver. The firm produced quarter eagles in both
1860 and 1861. What began as a banking establishment would grow
to become the foremost private coiner in the Colorado Territory,
with branches in Central City and Salt Lake City.
This 1860-dated Clark, Gruber quarter eagle is remarkable in
more than one way: It not only shows the excellent production
standards of the firm that helped make it the most respected
Colorado private coiner, it also is excellently preserved, while most
of the issue circulated, sometimes to a great degree. The surfaces
are considerably prooflike on this greenish-gold specimen, a color
that indicates a relatively high silver content in addition to the
gold. A small planchet indentation appears near star 7, and a little
planchet lamination is retained at star 6. The strike is somewhat
weak through the centers of each side. There is no mentionable
contact, an essential point that goes a long way toward explaining
this coin’s status as the single finest certified of this issue at PCGS.

Attractive 1860 Clark, Gruber Half
K-2, AU50
1975 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. Five Dollar AU50 PCGS. K-2, R.4.
The firm of Clark, Gruber at first shipped their increasing amounts
of gold dust to the Philadelphia Mint for coinage, an expensive
approach that was fraught with problems. The firm’s principals
finally constructed their own mint in Denver, which was completed
in early July 1860. Producing four denominations from quarter
eagles through double eagles, the mint made each denomination in
both 1860 and 1861, all evidently of full weight and well-respected
in the region around Denver City. The 1860 five dollar pieces
are similar to the 1860 quarter eagles in that they read CLARK
& CO. on Liberty’s coronet, with the addition of a period under
CO. Also like the 1860 quarter eagles, they are often found weakly
struck through the centers, as here. This piece offers lots of luster
remaining over golden-yellow surfaces. A couple of small scrapes
appear on Liberty’s cheek, and on the reverse there is a planchet
void, as made, behind OLD. An attractive example despite some
minor drawbacks, listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book.

Beautiful AU53 1860 Clark, Gruber Five Dollar, K-2
1976 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. Five Dollar AU53 PCGS. K-2, R.4.
The Clark, Gruber firm’s coinage operators appear to have taken a
while to learn their equipment and their craft, as the 1860-dated
pieces generally show soft strikes through the central areas, while
the 1861-dated pieces are much sharper in terms of the central
strike. This is a splendid yellow-orange five dollar piece with much
luster remaining. The peripheral strike is quite bold, producing
full centrils on all stars and good detail on the beaded cord in
Liberty’s hair, as well as on the outer eagle’s wings and claws and
the peripheral legends. Even under a loupe, this piece reveals no
singular distractions. A beautiful coin. Listed on page 377 of the
2010 Guide Booh. Population: 5 in 53, 59 finer (5/10). (#10136)

1977 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. Five Dollar AU58 PCGS. K-2, R.4.
This piece proves the exception to the rule, as the central strike is
quite well brought up on this half eagle, and atypical as such. The
central high-point hair on Liberty is almost fully detailed, as are the
feathers surrounding the shield on the reverse, although there is a
bit of softness on the left (facing) leg and the shield border itself.
Deep reddish-gold patina dominates on the obverse and on the
reverse rim. A small retained planchet lamination appears at star 1.

Lustrous and Well-Preserved
1860 Clark, Gruber Ten Dollar, K-3, AU53
1978 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. Ten Dollar AU50 PCGS. K-3, R.5.
The 1860 and 1861 Clark, Gruber ten dollar pieces are the largest of
the firm’s denominations usually seen, as the 1860 twenty dollar is
extremely rare, with the 1861 making only an occasional appearance.
During its short production of gold coins, the firm made nearly
$600,000 worth before switching to the production of gold bars.
The 1860 Clark, Gruber tens are also quite elusive in AU or
finer grades. Those coins deviated from the federal-style obverses
of the quarter and half eagle, featuring instead a rather laughable
attempt at depicting Pike’s Peak as a triangular monolith with a few
trees at its base. This admirable AU example displays generous luster
remaining on yellow-gold surfaces that are free of major contact
marks. Listed on page 377 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 8 in
50, 54 finer (5/10). (#10137)
1979 1860 Clark, Gruber & Co. Ten Dollar AU53 PCGS. K-3, R.5.
The 1860 Clark, Gruber coins deviated from the federal style of the
quarter and half eagles not only in having a depiction of Pike’s Peak
on the obverse rather than a Liberty head, but they also featured
the date 1860 on what is ostensibly the reverse, complete with
federal-style eagle. Lots of prooflike luster remains on this AU53
example, which offers greenish-gold coloration and a paucity of
mentionable abrasions. The strike is boldly impressed, and the
eye appeal is over the top. Even though most of the Clark, Gruber
coinage circulated as the product of a well-respected firm, this piece
has obviously been the subject of longtime and loving preservation.

Eye-Appealing 1861 Clark, Gruber
Quarter Eagle, K-5a, XF40
1980 1861 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle XF40 PCGS. K-5a,
R.4. The Colorado Gold Rush, also known as the Pike’s Peak
Gold Rush, followed a similar pattern to the California Gold Rush,
occurring less than a decade later. The discovery of gold in Colorado
happened in 1849, but word spread only in 1857-58, and by 1858
a boom had started in the region around Pike’s Peak. This 1861
quarter eagle has the initial eye appeal of a much higher grade,
with clean-looking yellow-gold surfaces and no visible distractions.
A loupe reveals the typical weak strike through the centers, along
with a couple of minor scrapes. Minor recutting shows on star 7.

Quarter Eagle, K-5a, Choice AU
1982 1861 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle AU55 PCGS. K-5a,
R.4. The famous Pike’s Peak Gold Rush and the state’s mineral
riches echo today in many place names in present-day Colorado,
such as Golden, Aurora, Leadville, Silverton, and many others. The
firm of Clark, Gruber made quarter eagles only in 1860 and 1861,
but the 1861s are notably more elusive in the higher circulated
grades and lower Mint State grades. This Choice AU example
shows minor recutting on star 6, as do many examples, and we
believe that the varieties listed as K-5 and K-5a are the same
variety in a different die state. This is a lovely Choice AU piece
with deep reddish-gold coloration, complementing tinges of violet
and hazel on the reverse. This piece has an excellent strike through
the centers, unlike most examples, and is remarkably attractive
overall. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population: 16

1981 1861 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle AU53 PCGS. K-5a,

Niners, as they came to be called in imitation of the Forty-Niners
of California. The year 1859 was the peak year for the Fifty-Niners,
and it is estimated that 100,000 of them came to the area seeking
their fortunes—the first major influx of European-Americans into
the area. The present 1861 quarter eagle has a rich look, with
canary-gold fields complementing orange-gold high points. This
still-lustrous piece is nearly devoid of abrasions, save for a small
dig on the inside of the O in CO. on the reverse. Listed on page

Quarter Eagle, K-5a, Only Five Finer at PCGS
1983 1861 Clark, Gruber & Co. Quarter Eagle MS61 PCGS. K-5a, R.4.
The full extent of the Colorado Gold Rush became known only in
1858, and two brothers named Clark, Austin and Milton, made good
profits selling goods to prospectors from their store in Leavenworth,
Kansas. In March 1859, the Clark brothers began a partnership with
Emanuel Gruber, redeeming gold dust for certificates of deposit.
This MS61 1861 Clark, Gruber quarter eagle is one of only
six examples so certified at PCGS, and there are five finer (5/10).
Minor recutting is once again visible on star 7, although here it is
a bit more prominent than on some of the other examples in this
same sale. The strike through the center of this piece is sharper
than normally seen Generous luster radiates from both sides of
this lemon-gold piece. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book.

federal style, with Liberty head on the obverse, PIKES PEAK on
the coronet, and eagle on the reverse. The date 1861 was moved to
the obverse. The 1861 tens, while still very scarce, are somewhat
more obtainable than the firm’s 1860-dated pieces. This 1861 ten
offers splendid orange-gold patina and lots of eye appeal, a function
of the adequate strike and scarcity of singular abrasions. Some tiny
die cracks join portions of the peripheral legends on each side, and
a small flawed area in the planchet appears on the lower reverse
under the olive leaves. Listed on page 378 of the 2010 Guide Book.

Gold mining continues in Colorado to this day. At least three active
gold mines are in operation today in Colorado, extracting thousands
of ounces of pure gold annually from the rich earth. These Clark,
Gruber gold coins are historic reminders of the mining legacy
that continues today. This Choice AU example is a marvelous
specimen, with lovely prevailing greenish-gold coloration. Some
small die cracks appear at the peripheral elements, and a little
planchet lamination is between the rim and star 3. Plenteous luster
and an excellent strike complete the broad appeal. Listed on page

1986 1861 Clark, Gruber $20 Copper Die Trial VF20 NGC. K-12c,
R.6. There are only six stars in front of Liberty, with the seventh
perched directly over the high point of the coronet she wears. On
the reverse, the V in DENVER is normal as on the gold pieces,
rather than defective as on the other reverse known for this copper
issue. This historic coin has seen moderate wear, although due to
its copper content we doubt it passed as a fifty dollar gold piece.
Perhaps it was carried as a pocket by some old-timer as a remnant
of the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush? The well-preserved medium-brown
surfaces show remarkably few signs of contact, save for a single
small scrape under the eagle’s left (facing) wing. Listed as a gold

Important C.A. Cook & Co. Twenty-Five Cent Note
1987 Banking House of C.A. Cook & Co. Twenty Five Cents Note.
This note is pedigreed to the legendary Henry H. Clifford Collection
of territorial gold, where it was cataloged by Bowers and Ruddy as:
“Denver, Colorado. Unissued, circa 1862. Vignette of hunter and
rifle at left, standing figure of Columbia with shield at right. At
the center is the denomination flanked by two reverses of a Seated
quarter. The center vignettes are printed in green. 6 1/2x15 1/2
cm. Unused sample note, punch holed at signature blank.
The Rocky Mountain News of December 13, 1862 carried the
following notice:
‘Our people suffered great inconvenience in their business
transactions in consequence of the great scarcity of small change.
To remedy this difficulty in a measure, C.A. Cook & Co., bankers
of this city, have gotten up very neatly lithographed notes of the
denomination of ten, twenty-five, and fifty cents, and one dollar,
which they redeem in current funds, when presented in the sum
of five dollars. They will prove a great convenience to the business
of our city, and the well-known integrity and responsibility of this
house will secure them in general circulation.’
Dr. Nolie Mumey, in Colorado Territorial Scrip , a marvelous account
of Colorado Territory note issuers (with many pages of information
concerning Cook) wrote:
Rare C.A. Cook & Co. Fifty Cent Note
1988 Banking House of C.A. Cook & Co. Fifty Cent Note. 6 1/2 x

Mumey described the types on the 50 cent note as “the goddess of
music, with Justice, on the left-hand side, while in the upper right
hand corner is an Indian in aborigine dress.” The center shows two
Seated half dollars as part of the central vignette.

‘The Cook notes, which circulated from 1861 to 1863, were
redeemable and lawful currency at their place of business. Nearly
$2,000 worth of notes were issued up to the time of the big fire in
Denver, which occurred on Sunday, April 19, 1863. It started in the
rear of the Cherokee House on Blake and F streets between two and
three o’clock in the morning, and by daylight had destroyed half the
business property, resulting in a loss of nearly a quarter of a million
dollars. The Cook building was the first to be burned to the ground.
It is not known how many of the scrip notes were destroyed in the
disastrous fire, nor how many were saved from the conflagration.
During the fire, Cook and Sears rushed into the burning building and
rescued their cashbox... Cook and his associate withdrew the notes
from circulation, redeemed all that were brought to them, and ceased
issuing their scrip ... The Cook notes were at a premium during the
Civil War and were considered better than the government notes.’
The Rocky Mountain News wrote on November 27, 1862:
‘We ought to repudiate all currency issued in any other state or
territory but not our own. We have a bullion currency, they have not.
We attach more value and safety to the issues of C.A. Cook & Co. of
this city than to any other of the small notes in circulation here, and
for the simple reason we all know the firm and have been familiar
with its business for two or three years and are perfectly satisfied
with its responsibility and integrity. Another thing Cook & Co.
have only $2,000, all told, of those small notes, and only introduce
them for the convenience of themselves and the public.’
Years ago, Edgar H. Adams, the well known New York numismatist
who studied Territorial gold coins and patterns, among other things,
wrote to E.B. Morgan of Denver concerning a Cook 20-cent note:
‘So far as I can learn, it is the only note of the Cook issue extant
and I was much gratified to come in its possession at the Chambers
sale held in Philadelphia a year or two ago. ... It is certainly a very
interesting piece of Colorado paper currency, but what it will bring
I cannot hazard a guess.’”

Lustrous 1850 Mormon Five Dollar, K-5, AU58
1996 1850 Mormon Five Dollar AU58 NGC. K-5, High R.5.
When the Mormons first came in 1847 to Salt Lake City in
Utah, or Deseret as they would call it, about fifty dollars that
their prophet Joseph Young brought with him was virtually all
the money they had, wrote historian H.H. Bancroft. According
to the December 20, 2004 Coin World article “Mormons arrive
to gold” by Eric von Klinger, while the Mormons could rely
on internal barter within their community, when it came to
commerce with the rest of the world, specie in the form of
gold and silver was needed. The Mormons arrived just as the
1847 war with Mexico was concluding, and in 1848 gold was
discovered in California. By 1849, shipments of California gold
began arriving in Salt Lake City, enabling the Mormons to
strike their own gold currency.
According to the article, a group of 500 Mormon volunteers
was released from serving in the War With Mexico in 1847,
rejoining their brethren in Utah and bringing their pay with
them—about $5,000 in gold. Young likely appropriated all of
that in exchange for tithe credits, using the specie to buy cattle
for the Mormons.
By late 1848 the Mormons had built a modest mint,
producing ten dollar coins first, a total of 46 coins dated 1849,
according to Donald Kagin. Five dollar and twenty dollar pieces
dated 1849 followed, with the twenty dollar pieces being the
first struck in the United States.
The Mormon 1850 five dollar pieces feature a similar design
to the 1849-dated pieces, but the dies were redesigned and
examples are uniformly better-struck than the 1849s, except on
the clasped hands. The 1850 five dollar coins would be the last
produced by the Mormons for a decade.
This example shows uniform subdued luster over the
brownish-gold surfaces, and there is little actual wear visible.
A few small contact marks scattered about are individually
insignificant, save for a small patch below the 8 in the date.
This piece is among the finest certified by NGC, one of nine at
the AU 58 level, with four finer (4/10). Listed on page 376 of

PCGS. K-4, R.5. The reverse lacks the bisecting die crack
sometimes seen, and yet the obverse die appears quite close to
failure, with several interesting cracks. Two heavy ones intersect at
star 1, one running along the bust truncation, the second downward
to the rim, while at least seven other cracks appear near the obverse
peripheries. The greenish-gold surfaces are attractive and “dished”
toward the obverse, as always, so that the reverse appears to have
more wear (and/or a weaker strike) than the obverse. This lustrous
golden-orange piece has a lot of appeal, despite the wear and strike
difficulty. Listed on page 372 of the 2010 Guide Book. Population:

luster, and neither side has any visible marks. Sharply impressed
save for the upper reverse and the star beneath the bust tip.
Population: 26 in 62, 11 finer (4/10).
From The Classic Collection. (#10496)
2001 1853 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-530, R.2, MS62 PCGS.
This lustrous pumpkin-gold Period One octagonal dollar is sharply
struck and unblemished. The portrait of Liberty has “fine style,”
something that cannot be said for many of the Period Two varieties.
Population: 38 in 62, 14 finer (5/10).(#10507)
BG-722 1872 Octagonal 25 Cents
Washington Head, MS64
2002 1872 Washington Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-722, Low R.4, MS64
PCGS. The various Washington Head types of California fraction
gold are a popular subset among collectors, and the scarce BG-722
octagonal quarter dollar is no exception. This near-Gem example
has bold sun-yellow color and partial reflectivity in faintly textured
fields. Population: 37 in 64, 57 finer (4/10). (#10549)
1871 Octagonal Liberty Quarter
BG-765, MS66 Prooflike
2003 1871 Liberty Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-765, R.3, MS66 Proof like
NGC. This is a relatively available Period Two variety with the
Liberty Head. Some of the stars are joined with tiny die cracks to
the rim, and other cracks triangulate the central device. Liberty’s
nose is “broken” at the top from die polishing. This golden-yellow
Premium Gem shows the usual Prooflike surfaces. (#710592)
2004 1880 Indian Octagonal 25 Cents, BG-799X MS65 Prooflike
NGC. Misattributed by NGC as BG-799Y. Both varieties
share the same reverse die, but the obverses differ, particularly
in the width of the date. This well struck Gem has dazzling field
reflectivity and consistent sun-gold color. Census: 4 in 65 Prooflike,
1 finer (4/10).(#710650)
BG-816 1872 Liberty Round Quarter, MS65
2005 1872 Liberty Round 25 Cents, BG-816, R.6, MS65 PCGS.
Frontier & Bellemere. The BG-814 through BG-816 entries share
an obverse, though there are subtle differences in the reverse design.
This gleaming green-gold example is part of the very rare BG-816
variety, well-defined and impressively preserved. Tied for the finest
certified by PCGS (4/10). (#10677)
Session Three, Auction #1140 | Friday, June 4, 2010 | 7:00 PM PT 313
Contrasting 1872 BG-818 Quarter Dollar
Popular Washington Obverse Design
2006 1872 Washington Round 25 Cents, BG-818, Low R.4, MS62
NGC. A gorgeous Washington Head 25 cent piece, this small
California gold piece has frosty and lustrous devices that float
across the reflective fields. The Washington design is a popular
issue today, as it has been since it was first made. Census: 1 in 62, 7
finer (5/10). (#10679)
Famous 1872 Washington Head Quarter
California Fractional Gold, BG-818, MS63
2007 1872 Washington Round 25 Cents, BG-818, Low R.4, MS63
PCGS. Here is a remarkable example of the famous and popular
Washington Head California fractional gold piece. Some weakness
is evident on Washington’s profile. Both sides have frosty luster and
the obverse displays a lovely combination of green-gold fields and
rose-gold devices. Population: 24 in 63, 57 finer (4/10). (#10679)
2008 1872 Liberty Round 50 Cents, BG-1013, Low R.6, MS66
NGC. Excellent mirrors, if a bit obscured on the obverse so that
NGC withheld an otherwise well-deserved Prooflike designation.
Carefully preserved with gleaming green-gold color and top-flight
eye appeal. Census: 1 in 66, 0 finer (4/10).(#10842)
2009 1869 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1106, High R.4, MS63
PCGS. Ex: Bass. Yellow-gold luster is mildly reflective with orange
overtones. A pleasing example of this popular octagonal dollar
variant with few significant abrasions for the grade. Population: 9
in 63, 1 finer (4/10).(#10917)
2010 1871 Liberty Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1109, Low R.4, MS63
PCGS. Ex: Bass. This lemon-gold octagonal dollar has what
ancient collectors call “fine style.” That is, the portrait was well
engraved, something that cannot be said about many entries in
the small denomination gold series. No marks are consequential,
although minute carbon is scattered. Population: 13 in 63, 7 finer
(4/10).(#10920)
Challenging BG-1113 1876
Octagonal Dollar, AU55
2011 1876 Indian Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1113, R.7, AU55 PCGS.
A remarkable example of this extremely rare variety, a full grade
range finer than the plate coin from Breen-Gillio (also the only
other example that Heritage has offered). Still-lustrous surfaces are
dusky yellow-gold, and well struck devices exhibit only minor wear.
Population: 2 in 55, 0 finer (4/10). (#10924)
Mohrig-Issue 1872 Gold Dollar, MS64
BG-1120
2012 1872 Indian Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1120, Low R.5, MS64
PCGS. This Mohrig Period Two issue shows a large star below
DOLLAR, a berry left of the middle of the D. The same obverse
was used on BG-1119 and 1121, easily identifiable by the period
after the date. The striking details are remarkably sharp on each
side, and the fields show the usual bright prooflike reflectivity.
Population: 13 in 64, 1 finer (4/10). (#10931)
2013 1876/5 Indian Octagonal 1 Dollar, BG-1129, R.4 AU58 NGC.
This yellow-gold Borderline Uncirculated example has flashy fields
and only a hint of friction on the Indian’s cheek, ear, hair, and bust
truncation. Pleasantly devoid of marks. Census: 2 in 58, 12 finer
(4/10).(#10940)
Scarce 1870 Liberty Round Dollar
BG-1203, MS62
2014 1870 Liberty Round 1 Dollar, BG-1203, Low R.5, MS62 PCGS.
There are only eight different Breen-Gillio varieties of Period Two
round dollars, compared to the 132 or so varieties of Period Two
octagonal quarters. The scarcity of round dollars as a California
small denomination explains the premiums that they sell for. The
present green-gold representative has lightly abraded surfaces,
moderately reflective fields, and minor incompleteness of strike on
the DO in DOLLAR. Population: 6 in 62, 9 finer (4/10).
From The Classic Collection. (#10948)

M.E. Hart's Coins of the Golden West
These souvenir gold goins, representing
the denominations of 25 cents, 50 cents,
and one dollar, were produced and sold
in the early 20th century. Although the
M.E. Hart Company of San Francisco
advertised the sets for sale, it is believed
that unidentified makers actually
produced the individual coins.The
various coins honored the Western states,
with 12 pieces prepresenting Alaska and
12 pieces representing California.The
remaining 12 pieces in the 36 coin set
represented Idaho, Montana, Oregon and
Washington, with three for each state.
Farran Zerbe, famous as a distributor of
U.S. commemorative gold coins, acquired
15 copper frames to mount complete
sets of the souvenir gold coins.. The
frames are similar in size and appearance
to the copper frames of Panama-
Pacific commemorative gold coins.
We are pleased to offer all 36 issues
of the set on a single lot basis.
Although illustrated here, the
copper frame is not part of the
following presentation.

End of Auction
Session 4, Auction #1140 | June 6, 2010 | 10AMCT 401
Heritage Auction Galleries Staff
Steve Ivy - Co-Chairman and CEO
Steve Ivy began collecting and studying rare coins as a youth, and as a teenager began advertising coins for sale in national publications
in 1963. Seven years later, at the age of 20, he opened for business in downtown Dallas, and in 1976, incorporated as an auction
company. Steve managed the business as well as serving as chief buyer, buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars of coins
during the 1970s and early 1980s. In early 1983, James Halperin became a full partner, and the name of the corporation was changed
to Heritage Auctions. Steve's primary responsibilities now include management of the marketing and selling efforts of the company, the
formation of corporate policy for long-term growth, and corporate relations with financial institutions. He remains intimately involved
in all the various categories Heritage Auctions deals in today. Steve engages in daily discourse with industry leaders on all aspects of
the fine art and collectibles business, and his views on market trends and developments are respected throughout the industry. He
previously served on both the Board of Directors of the Professional Numismatists Guild (past president), and The Industry Council for Tangible Assets (past
Chairman). Steve's keen appreciation of history is reflected in his active participation in other organizations, including past board positions on the Texas
Historical Foundation and the Dallas Historical Society (where he also served as Exhibits Chairman). Steve is an avid collector of Texas books, manuscripts,
and national currency, and he owns one of the largest and finest collections in private hands. He is also a past Board Chair of Dallas Challenge, and is
currently the Finance Chair of the Phoenix House of Texas.
James Halperin - Co-Chairman
Born in Boston in 1952, Jim formed a part-time rare coin business at age 15 after discovering he had a knack (along with a nearly
photographic memory) for coins. Jim scored a perfect 800 on his math SATs and received early acceptance to Harvard College, but
after attending three semesters took a permanent leave of absence to pursue his full-time numismatic career. In 1975, Jim supervised the
protocols for the first mainframe computer system in the numismatic business, which would catapult New England Rare Coin Galleries
to the top of the industry in less than four years. In 1982, Jim's business merged with that of his friend and former archrival Steve Ivy.
Their partnership has become Heritage Auctions, the third-largest auction house in the world. Jim is also a well-known futurist, an active
collector of EC comics and early 20th-century American art (visitwww.jhalpe.com), venture capital investor, philanthropist (he endows
a multimillion-dollar health education foundation), and part-time novelist. His first fiction book, The Truth Machine, was published in
1996, became an international science fiction bestseller, and was optioned for movie development by Warner Brothers and Lions Gate. Jim's second novel,
The First Immortal, was published in early 1998 and immediately optioned as a Hallmark Hall of Fame television miniseries.
Greg Rohan - President
At the age of eight, Greg Rohan started collecting coins as well as buying them for resale to his schoolmates. By 1971, at the age of 10,
he was already buying and selling coins from a dealer's table at trade shows in his hometown of Seattle. His business grew rapidly, and
by 1985 he had offices in both Seattle and Minneapolis. He joined Heritage in 1987 as Executive Vice-President. Today, as a partner
and as President of Heritage, his responsibilities include overseeing the firm's private client group and working with top collectors in
every field in which Heritage is active. Greg has been involved with many of the rarest items and most important collections handled
by the firm, including the purchase and/or sale of the Ed Trompeter Collection (the world's largest numismatic purchase according to
the Guinness Book of World Records). During his career, Greg has handled more than $1 billion of rare coins, collectibles and art.
He has provided expert testimony for the United States Attorneys in San Francisco, Dallas, and Philadelphia, and for the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC). He has worked with collectors, consignors, and their advisors regarding significant collections of books, manuscripts, comics, currency,
jewelry, vintage movie posters, sports and entertainment memorabilia, decorative arts, and fine art. Greg is a past Chapter Chairman for North Texas of
the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), and is an active supporter of the arts. Greg co-authored "The Collectors Estate Handbook," winner of the NLG's
Robert Friedberg Award for numismatic book of the year. He previously served on the seven-person Advisory Board to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas,
in his second appointed term.
Paul Minshull - Chief Operating Officer
As Chief Operating Officer, Paul Minshull's managerial responsibilities include integrating sales, personnel, inventory, security and MIS
for Heritage. His major accomplishments include overseeing the hardware migration from mainframe to PC, the software migration of
all inventory and sales systems, and implementation of a major Internet presence. Heritage's successful employee-suggestion program
has generated 200 or more ideas each month since 1995, and has helped increase employee productivity, expand business, and
improve employee retention. Paul oversees the company's highly-regarded IT department, and has been one of the driving force behind
Heritage's Web development, now a significant portion of Heritage's future plans. As the first auction house that combined traditional
floor bidding with active Internet bidding, the totally interactive systems have catapulted Heritage to the top collectible and Fine Art
website (Forbes Magazine's "Best of the Web"). Paul came to Heritage in 1984. Since 1994 Paul has been the Chief Operating Officer
for all Heritage companies and affiliates.
Todd Imhof - Executive Vice President
Unlike most of his contemporaries, Todd Imhof did not start collecting in his teens. Shortly after graduating college, Todd declined offers
from prestigious Wall Street banks to join a former classmate at a small rare coin firm in the Seattle area. In the mid-1980s, the rare coin
industry was rapidly changing, with the advent of third-party grading and growing computer technologies. As a newcomer, Todd more
easily embraced these new dynamics and quickly emerged as a highly respected dealer. In 1991, he co-founded Pinnacle Rarities, a
firm specialized in servicing the savviest and most preeminent collectors in numismatics. At only 25, he was accepted into the PNG, and
currently serves on its Consumer Protection Committee and its LegislationTTaxation Issues Committee. In 1992, he was invited to join
the Board of Directors for the Industry Council for Tangible Assets, later serving as its Chairman (2002-2005). Since joining Heritage in
2006, Todd continues to advise most of Heritage's largest and most prominent clients.
Leo Frese - Managing Director, Beverly Hills
Leo has been involved in the business of collectibles and rare coins for four decades, starting as a professional numismatist in 1971.
He has been with Heritage for more than 20 years, literally working his way up the Heritage ladder before becoming Director of

1. This Auction is presented by Heritage Auction Galleries, a d/b/a/ of Heritage Auctions, Inc., or
its affiliates Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc., or Heritage Vintage Sports Auctions, Inc., or
Currency Auctions of America, Inc., as identified with the applicable licensing information on the
title page of the catalog or on the HA.com Internet site (the “Auctioneer”). The Auction is conducted
under these Terms and Conditions of Auction and applicable state and local law. Announcements
and corrections from the podium and those made through the Terms and Conditions of Auctions
appearing on the Internet at HA.com supersede those in the printed catalog.
Buyer’s Premium:
2. On bids placed through Auctioneer, a Buyers Premium of fifteen percent (15%) will be added to
the successful hammer price bid on lots in Coin, Currency, and Philatelic auctions or nineteen and
one-half percent (19.5%) on lots in all other auctions. There is a minimum Buyers Premium of
$14.00 per lot. In Gallery Auctions (sealed bid auctions of mostly bulk numismatic material), the
Buyers Premium is 19.5%.
Auction Venues:
3. The following Auctions are conducted solely on the Internet: Heritage Weekly Internet Auctions
(Coin, Currency, Comics, and Vintage Movie Poster); Heritage Monthly Internet Auctions (Sports,
and Stamps). Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions accept bids from the Internet,
telephone, fax, or mail first, followed by a floor bidding session; Heritage Live and real-time
telephone bidding are available to registered clients during these auctions.
Bidders:
4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and accepts these
Terms and Conditions of Auction (“Bidder(s)”).
5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneers qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good
standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer’s sole option and will not be awarded
lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any
time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude
any person from the auction.
6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally
guarantee payment for any successful bid.
Credit:
7. Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish satisfactory credit
information (including two collectibles-related business references) well in advance of the Auction
or supply valid credit card information. Bids placed through our Interactive Internet program
will only be accepted from pre-registered Bidders; Bidders who are not members of HA.com or
affiliates should pre-register at least 48 hours before the start of the first session (exclusive of
holidays or weekends) to allow adequate time to contact references. Credit may be granted at the
discretion of Auctioneer. Additionally Bidders who have not previously established credit or who
wish to bid in excess of their established credit history may be required to provide their social
security number or the last four digits thereof to us so a credit check may be performed prior to
Auctioneer’s acceptance of a bid.
Bidding Options:
8. Bids in Signature® Auctions or Grand Format Auctions may be placed as set forth in the printed
catalog section entitled “Choose your bidding method.” For auctions held solely on the Internet,
see the alternatives on HA.com. Review at HA.com/common/howtobid.php.
9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone and mail
bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half increment
(called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half
increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment and this revised
amount will be considered your high bid.
10. Auctioneers Execution of Certain Bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your errors in
bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail or FAX bids are
submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest accuracy, your written
bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be received at Auctioneers place
of business at least two business days before the Auction start. Auctioneer is not responsible for
executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids
submitted after the published closing time; nor is Auctioneer responsible for proper execution of
bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet, or in person once the Auction begins.
Internet bids may not be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by
Auctioneer (FAX: 214-4438425); such requests must state the reason, and may constitute grounds
for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the Auction
unless prearranged.
11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the lowest
amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the current bid
can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be
between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment. Please see: “How can I lose
by less than an increment?” on our website. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No
“buy” or “unlimited” bids will be accepted.

12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a bid at half
of the increment (“Cut Bid”) only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders may continue
to participate only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted by the Auctioneer at
Signature® Auctions and Grand Format Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the
expected increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids.
Conducting the Auction:
13. Notice of the consignors liberty to place bids on his lots in the Auction is hereby made in
accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Business and Commercial Code. A “Minimum Bid” is
an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE
WRITTEN ’’Minimum Bids” ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS,
IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE “Minimum Bid”, THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY
A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. ’’Minimum Bids” are generally posted online
several days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid placed by a consignor on his
Property on the Auction floor, or by any means during the live session, or after the ’’Minimum
Bid” for an Auction have been posted, we will require the consignor to pay full Buyer’s Premium
and Seller’s Commissions on such lot.
14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of
a tie bid, the earliest bid received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute between any
Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot. Auctioneer’s decision
and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly
offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go
unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the
winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher.
15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid, in
its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in “Good Faith” when made by an insolvent
or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported by satisfactory
credit, collectibles references, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid
by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made in “Good Faith.” Any
person apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid.
16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small opening bids,
or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 40-60% of the low estimate,
the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf of the consignor.
17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer’s discretion (approximately 50%-60% of
the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening amount, the lot shall
pass as unsold.
18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken.
Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction.
19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty,
disputed ownership, auctioneer’s clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves, or
for any other reason and in Auctioneer’s sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s
election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees
(seller’s and buyer’s premium) and any other damages or expenses pertaining to the lot.
20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or Server service outages, and Auctioneer
periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes, during which
Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our discretion extend
bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the Internet are directed to
contact Client Services at 1-800-872-6467.
21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction, and may
bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right to modify any
such bids at any time prior to the hammer based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its
affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans to certain consignors.
22. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction. Such lots
shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions shall apply to such
sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and disclaimers.
Payment:
23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S. currency, bank wire, cashier
checks, travelers checks, eChecks, and bank money orders, all subject to reporting requirements).
All are subject to clearing and funds being received In Auctioneer’s account before delivery of the
purchases. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check constitutes “good funds” when
drawn on a U.S. bank for ten days, and thirty days when drawn on an international bank. Credit
Card (Visa or Master Card only) and PayPal payments may be accepted up to $10,000 from non¬
dealers at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer, subject to the following limitations: a) sales are
only to the cardholder, b) purchases are shipped to the cardholder’s registered and verified address,
c) Auctioneer may pre-approve the cardholder’s credit line, d) a credit card transaction may not
be used in conjunction with any other financing or extended terms offered by the Auctioneer, and
must transact immediately upon invoice presentation, e) rights of return are governed by these
Terms and Conditions, which supersede those conditions promulgated by the card issuer, f) floor
Bidders must present their card.
24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice. Auctioneer
reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7 days after the close
of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election to void a sale does not relieve the
Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) on the lot
and any other damages pertaining to the lot.
25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative in the States of Texas, California, New York, or
other states where the Auction may be held, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes,
unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the
actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an expired,
inaccurate, inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation of the
applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be on file at
and verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction or tax must be paid; only if such form or
certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of tax paid be
made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.
26. In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall pay the
maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to pay via eCheck
and your financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account, or the payment cannot
be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to complete payment using your credit
card on file.
27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance
will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any
invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount or three
percent (3%) of any installment that is past due. If the Auctioneer refers any invoice to an attorney
for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs
incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-house legal staff, such attorney’s
time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of
independent attorneys.
28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Auctioneer reserves the right to sell
the lot(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at
subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by Auctioneer.
A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (including a 10% seller’s
commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by Auctioneer). The defaulting Bidder is liable to
pay any difference between his total original invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and
the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less
the 10% seller’s commissions, if sold at an Auctioneer’s auction.
Terms and Conditions of Auction
29. Auctioneer reserves the right to require payment in full in good funds before delivery of the

other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer or its affiliates to secure payment of any
Auction invoice or any other amounts due the Auctioneer or affiliates from the buyer. With respect
to these lien rights, Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of
the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale. In addition,
with respect to payment of the Auction invoice(s), the buyer waives any and all rights of offset he

including (but not limited to) items made of (or including) ivory, whalebone, turtleshell, coral,
crocodile, or other wildlife. Transport of such lots may require special licenses for export, import,
or both. Bidder is responsible for: 1) obtaining all information on such restricted items for both
export and import; 2) obtaining all such licenses and/or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any
such license or permit does not relieve the buyer of timely compliance with standard payment
terms. For further information, please contact Ron Brackemyre at 800-872-6467 ext. 1312.
37. Any request for shipping verification for undelivered packages must be made within 30 days of

Cataloging, Warranties and Disclaimers:
38. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY
DESCRIPTION CONTAINED IN THIS AUCTION OR ANY SECOND OPINE. Any description of
the items or second opine contained in this Auction is for the sole purpose of identifying the
items for those Bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding, and
no description of items has been made part of the basis of the bargain or has created any express
warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by Auctioneer. Color variations
can be expected in any electronic or printed imaging, and are not grounds for the return of any lot.
NOTE: Auctioneer, in specified auction venues, for example, Fine Art, may have express written
warranties and you are referred to those specific terms and conditions..
39. Auctioneer is selling only such right or title to the items being sold as Auctioneer may have by
virtue of consignment agreements on the date of auction and disclaims any warranty of title to
the Property. Auctioneer disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular

connection with the sale of any Property by Auctioneer to Bidder. No third party may rely on any
benefit of these Terms and Conditions and any rights, if any, established hereunder are personal
to the Bidder and may not be assigned. Any statement made by the Auctioneer is an opinion
and does not constitute a warranty or representation. No employee of Auctioneer may alter these
Terms and Conditions, and, unless signed by a principal of Auctioneer, any such alteration is null
and void.
42. Auctioneer shall not be liable for breakage of glass or damage to frames (patent or latent); such

second opines, from any and all claims, cause of action, chose of action, whether at law or equity
or any arbitration or mediation rights existing under the rules of any professional society or
affiliation based upon the assigned description, or a derivative theory, breach of warranty express
or implied, representation or other matter set forth within these Terms and Conditions of Auction
or otherwise. In the event of a claim, Bidder agrees that such rights and privileges conferred
therein are strictly construed as specifically declared herein; e.g., authenticity, typographical error,
etc. and are the exclusive remedy. Bidder, by non-compliance to these express terms of a granted
remedy, shall waive any claim against Auctioneer.
44. Notice: Some Property sold by Auctioneer are inherently dangerous e.g. firearms, cannons, and
small items that may be swallowed or ingested or may have latent defects all of which may cause
harm to a person. Purchaser accepts all risk of loss or damage from its purchase of these items and

inconsequential, and expressly disclaims any warranty as to safety or usage of any lot sold.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Provision:
45. By placing a bid or otherwise participating in the auction, Bidder accepts these Terms and
Conditions of Auction, and specifically agrees to the dispute resolution provided herein.
Consumer disputes shall be resolved through court litigation which has an exclusive Dallas, Texas

which arbitration replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial.
46. Auctioneer in no event shall be responsible for consequential damages, incidental damages,
compensatory damages, or any other damages arising or claimed to be arising from the auction of
any lot. In the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the
lot lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, In such cases the sole remedy shall be
limited to rescission of sale and refund of the amount paid by Bidder; in no case shall Auctioneers
maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the
value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneers maximum liability shall be limited to any
commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot.
47. In the event of an attribution error, Auctioneer may at its sole discretion, correct the error on
the Internet, or, if discovered at a later date, to refund the buyers purchase price without further
obligation.
48. Dispute Resolution for Consumers and Non-Consumers: Any claim, dispute, or controversy
in connection with, relating to and /or arising out of the Auction, participation in the Auction.
Award of lots, damages of claims to lots, descriptions, condition reports, provenance, estimates,
return and warranty rights, any interpretation of these Terms and Conditions, any alleged verbal
modification of these Terms and Conditions and/or any purported settlement whether asserted in
contract, tort, under Federal or State statute or regulation shall or any other matter: a) if presented
by a consumer, be exclusively heard by, and the parties consent to, exclusive in personam
jurisdiction in the State District Courts of Dallas County, Texas. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY
WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. Any appeals shall be solely pursued in the appellate
courts of the State of Texas; or b) for any claimant other than a consumer, the claim shall be
presented in confidential binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, that the parties may agree
upon, selected from the JAMS list of Texas arbitrators. The case is not to be administrated by JAMS;
however, if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then JAMS shall appoint the arbitrator and it
shall be conducted under JAMS rules. The locale shall be Dallas Texas. The arbitrator s award may
be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any party on any claim involving the purchase
or sale of numismatic or related items may elect arbitration through binding PNG arbitration.
Any claim must be brought within one (1) year of the alleged breach, default or misrepresentation
or the claim is waived. This agreement and any claims shall be determined and construed under
Texas law. The prevailing party (party that is awarded substantial and material relief on its claim
or defense) may be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
49. No claims of any kind can be considered after the settlements have been made with the consignors.
Any dispute after the settlement date is strictly between the Bidder and consignor without
involvement or responsibility of the Auctioneer.
50. In consideration of their participation in or application for the Auction, a person or entity (whether
the successful Bidder, a Bidder, a purchaser and/or other Auction participant or registrant) agrees
that all disputes in anyway relating to, arising under, connected with, or incidental to these Terms
and Conditions and purchases, or default in payment thereof, shall be arbitrated pursuant to
the arbitration provision. In the event that any matter including actions to compel arbitration,
construe the agreement, actions in aid or arbitration or otherwise needs to be litigated, such
litigation shall be exclusively in the Courts of the State of Texas, in Dallas County, Texas, and if
necessary the corresponding appellate courts. For such actions, the successful Bidder, purchaser,
or Auction participant also expressly submits himself to the personal jurisdiction of the State of
Texas.
51. These Terms & Conditions provide specific remedies for occurrences in the auction and delivery
process. Where such remedies are afforded, they shall be interpreted strictly. Bidder agrees that
any claim shall utilize such remedies; Bidder making a claim in excess of those remedies provided
in these Terms and Conditions agrees that in no case whatsoever shall Auctioneers maximum
liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of
the lot.
Miscellaneous:
52. Agreements between Bidders and consignors to effectuate a non-sale of an item at Auction, inhibit
bidding on a consigned item to enter into a private sale agreement for said item, or to utilize the
Auctioneers Auction to obtain sales for non-selling consigned items subsequent to the Auction,
are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned item occurs in violation of
this provision, Auctioneer reserves the right to charge Bidder the applicable Buyer s Premium and
consignor a Sellers Commission as determined for each auction venue and by the terms of the
sellers agreement.
53. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions qualifies Bidder as a client who has consented to be
contacted by Heritage in the future. In conformity with “do-not-call” regulations promulgated by
the Federal or State regulatory agencies, participation by the Bidder is affirmative consent to being
contacted at the phone number shown in his application and this consent shall remain in effect until
it is revoked in writing. Heritage may from time to time contact Bidder concerning sale, purchase,
and auction opportunities available through Heritage and its affiliates and subsidiaries.
54. Rules of Construction: Auctioneer presents properties in a number of collectible fields, and as

be construed to waive the general Terms and Conditions of Auction by these additional rules and
shall be construed to give force and effect to the rules in their entirety.

Rev. 4-15-10
Terms and Conditions of Auction
Additional Terms & Conditions:
COINS & CURRENCY
COINS and CURRENCY TERM A: Signature* Auctions are not on approval. No certified material
may be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by
any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for uncertified
Property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely
no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross cataloging error)
a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale:
such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error; submission of the lot to
the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer; and bidder must notify Ron Brackemyre
(1-800-8726467 Ext. 1312) in writing of such request within three (3) days of the non-floor
bidders receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within 30 days after
Auction. Grading or method of manufacture do not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such
complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD,
NO LOTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned
must be housed intact in their original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders may be returned
(including those Bidders acting as agents for others) except for authenticity. Late remittance for
purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet THREE (3) DAY
RETURN POLICY: Certified Coin and Uncertified and Certified Currency lots paid for within
seven days of the Auction closing are sold with a three (3) day return privilege. You may return
lots under the following conditions: Within three days of receipt of the lot, you must first notify
Auctioneer by contacting Client Service by phone (1-800-872-6467) or e-mail (Bid@HA.com),
and immediately ship the lot(s) fully insured to the attention of Returns, Heritage, 3500 Maple
Avenue, 17th Floor, Dallas TX 75219-3941. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder and
condition. You are responsible for the insured, safe delivery of any lots. A non-negotiable return
fee of 5% of the purchase price ($10 per lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each
returned lot or billed directly. Postage and handling fees are not refunded. After the three-day
period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases
revokes these Return privileges.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM C: Bidders who have inspected the lots prior to any Auction, or
attended the Auction, or bid through an Agent, will not be granted any return privileges, except
for reasons of authenticity.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM D: Coins sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “as
is” without any express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by Auctioneer that they are
genuine. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is referred
to them for further details: Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), P.O. Box 4776, Sarasota,
FL 34230; Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658;
ANACS, 6555 S. Kenton St. Ste. 303, Englewood, CO 80111; and Independent Coin Grading Co.
(ICG), 7901 East Belleview Ave., Suite 50, Englewood, CO 80111.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM E: Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “as is”
without any express or implied warranty, except for guarantee by Auctioneer that they are genuine.
Grading, condition or other attributes of any lot may have a material effect on its value, and the
opinion of others, including third-party grading services such as PCGS Currency, PMG, and CGA
may differ with that of Auctioneer. Auctioneer shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent
opinion, determination, or certification by any grading service. Bidder specifically waives any
claim to right of return of any item because of the opinion, determination, or certification, or lack
thereof, by any grading service. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and
the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Paper Money Guaranty (PMG), PO Box 4711,
Sarasota FL 34230; PCGS Currency, PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658; Currency Grading
& Authentication (CGA), PO Box 418, Three Bridges, NJ 08887. Third party graded notes are not
returnable for any reason whatsoever.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM F: Since we cannot examine encapsulated coins or notes, they are
sold “as is” without our grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason. Auctioneer
shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any
encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchasers remedy, if any, shall be solely against
the service certifying the collectible.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM G: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing
interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves
the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that
accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades
shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM H: Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services,
it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible
that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to
the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM I: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal
risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified coins and
collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For
some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM J: All non-certified coins and currency are guaranteed genuine, but
are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and
therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not agree
with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the
same item with the same grade at two different times. Auctioneer has graded the non-certified
numismatic items, in the Auctioneers opinion, to their current interpretation of the American
Numismatic Associations standards as of the date the catalog was prepared. There is no guarantee
or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards utilized by the Auctioneer will meet
the standards of any grading service at any time in the future.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM K: Storage of purchased coins and currency: Purchasers are advised
that certain types of plastic may react with a coins metal or transfer plasticizer to notes and may
cause damage. Caution should be used to avoid storage in materials that are not inert.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM L: Storage of purchased coins and currency: Purchasers are advised
that certain types of plastic may react with a coins metal or transfer plasticizer to notes and may
cause damage. Caution should be used to avoid storage in materials that are not inert.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM M: NOTE: Purchasers of rare coins or currency through Heritage
have available the option of arbitration by the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG); if an
election is not made within ten (10) days of an unresolved dispute, Auctioneer may elect either
PNG or A.A.A. Arbitration.
COINS and CURRENCY TERM N: For more information regarding Canadian lots attributed to the
Charlton reference guides, please contact: Charlton International, PO Box 820, Station Willowdale
B, North York, Ontario M2K 2R1 Canada.

Q Interactive Internet™ Proxy Bidding
(leave your maximum Bid at HA.com before the auction starts)
Heritage's exclusive Interactive Internet™ system is fun and
easy! Before you start, you must register online at HA.com and
obtain your Username and Password.
1. Login to the HA.com website, using your
Username and Password.
2. Chose the specialty you're interested in at the top of the
homepage (i.e. coins, currency, comics, movie posters,
fine art, etc.).
3.

5.
6 .
Search or browse for the lots that interest you. Every auction
has search features and a 'drop-down' menu list.
Select a lot by clicking on the link or the photo icon. Read the
description, and view the full-color photography. Note that
clicking on the image will enlarge the photo with
amazing detail.
View the current opening bid. Below the lot description,
note the historic pricing information to help you establish
price levels. Clicking on a link will take you directly to our
Permanent Auction Archives for more information and images.
If the current price is within your range, Bid! At the top of the
lot page is a box containing the Current Bid and an entry box
for your "Secret Maximum Bid" - the maximum amount you
are willing to pay for the item before the Buyer's Premium is
added. Click tne button marked "Place Bid" (if you are not
logged in, a login box will open first so you can enter your
username (or e-mail address) and password.
7.
8 .
9.
10 .
After you are satisfied that all the information is correct,
confirm your "Secret Maximum Bid" by clicking on the
"Confirm Absentee Bid" button. You will receive immediate
notification letting you know if you are now the top bidder, or
if another bidder nad previously bid higher than your amount.
If you bid your maximum amount and someone has already
bid higher, you will immediately know so you can concentrate
on other lots.
Before the auction, if another bidder surpasses your "Secret
Maximum Bid", you will be notified automatically by e-mail
containing a link to review the lot and possibly bid higher.
Interactive Internet™ bidding closes at 10 P.M. Central
Time the night before the session is offered in a floor event.
Interactive Internet™ bidding closes two hours before live
sessions where there is no floor bidding.
The Interactive Internet™ system generally opens the lot at
the next increment above tne second highest bid. As the
high bidder, your "Secret Maximum Bid" will compete for
you during the floor auction. Of course, it is possible in a
Signature® or Grand Format live auction that you may be
outbid on the floor or by a Heritage Live bidder after Internet
bidding closes. Bid early, as the earliest bird wins in the
event of a tie bid. For more information about bidding and
bid increments, please see the section labeled "Bidding
Increments" elsewhere in this catalog.
11. After the auction, you will be notified of your success.
It's that easy!

Choose Your Bidding Method, (Cont'd.)
©HERITAGE Live!" Bidding
(participate in the Live auction via the Internet)
1. Look on each auction's homepage to verify whether that auction is "HA.com/Live Enabled." All Signature®
and Grand Format auctions use the HERITAGE Live!™ system, and many feature live audio and/or video.
Determine your lots of interest and maximum bids.
2. Note on the auction's homepage the session dates and times (and especially time zones!) so you can plan your
participation. You actually have two methods of using HERITAGE Live!™: a) you can leave a proxy bid through
this system, much like the Interactive Internet™ (we recommend you do this before the session starts), or b) you
can sit in front of your computer much as the audience is sitting in the auction room during the actual auction.
3. Login at HA.com/Live.
4. Until you become experienced (and this happens quickly!) you will want to login well before your lot comes
up so you can watch the activity on other lots. It is as intuitive as participating in a live auction.
5. When your lot hits the auction block, you can continue to bid live against the floor and other live bidders by
simply clicking the "Bid" button; the amount you are bidding is clearly displayed on the console.
© Mail Bidding
(deposit your maximum Bid with the U.S.P.S. well before the auction starts)
Mail bidding at auction is fun and easy, but by eliminating the interactivity of our
online systems, some of your bids may be outbid before you lick the stamp, and you
will have no idea of your overall chances until the auction is over!
1. Look through the printed catalog, and determine your lots of interest.
2. Research their market value by checking price lists and other price guidelines.
3. Fill out your bid sheet, entering your maximum bid on each lot. Bid using whole
dollar amounts only. Verify your bids, because you are responsible for any errors you
make! Please consult the Bidding Increments chart in the Terms & Conditions.
4. Please fill out your bid sheet completely! We also need: a) Your name and complete
address for mailing invoices and lots; b) Your telephone number if any problems or
changes arise; c) Your references; if you have not established credit with Heritage,
you must send a 25% deposit, or list dealers with whom you have credit established;
d) Total your bid sheet; add up all bids and list that total in the box; e) Sign your bid
sheet, thereby agreeing to abide by the Terms & Conditions of Auction printed in
the catalog.
5. Mail early, because preference is given to the first bid received in case of a tie.
6. When bidding by mail, you frequently purchase items at less than your maximum bid. Bidding generally opens at the
next published increment above the second highest mail or Internet bid previously received; if additional floor, phone,
or HERITAGE Live!™ bids are made, we act as your agent, bidding in increments over any additional bid until you
win the lot or are outbid. For example, if you submitted a bid of $750, and the second highest bid was $375, bidding
would start at $400; if no other bids were placed, you would purchase the lot for $400.
7. You can also Fax your Bid Sheet if time is short. Use our exclusive Fax Hotline: 214-443-8425.
Q Telephone Bidding (when you are traveling, or do not have access to HERITAGE Live!™)
1. To participate in an auction by telephone, you must make preliminary arrangements with Client Services
(Toll Free 866-835-3243) at least three days before the auction.
2. We strongly recommend that you place preliminary bids by mail or Internet if you intend to participate by telephone.
On many occasions, this dual approach has reduced disappointments due to telephone (cell) problems, unexpected
travel, late night sessions, and time zone differences. Keep a list of your preliminary bids, and we will help you avoid
bidding against yourself.
Q Attend in Person (whenever possible)
Auctions are fun, and we encourage you to attend as many as possible - although our HERITAGE Live!™ system brings
all of the action right to your computer screen. Auction dates and session times are printed on the title page of each
catalog, and appear on the homepage of each auction at HA.com. Join us if you can!
